EASY FROZEN MARGARITAS
Authentic margaritas call for lots of fresh lime juice - both expensive and time-consuming. I've found I can shortcut the process by using frozen limeade. And for a festive non-alcoholic drink, combine a 12-ounce can of limeade (thawed) with a 48-ounce bottle of sparkling water.

- Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavor combinations. Try adding fruit, herbs, or spices to your margaritas for a unique twist.
- Make sure your blender is powerful enough to crush ice. A weak blender will leave you with chunky margaritas.
- Don't overblend your margaritas. Overblending will make them too slushy.
- Serve your margaritas immediately. Frozen margaritas are best enjoyed fresh.
