Steps:
- In a 5-gallon sports cooler combine all ingredients except reserve some water. Stir or shake container to chill. If ice all melts add more. If too strong add water, but leave on the strong side because ice will continue to dilute over the next few hours. Makes about 2 1/2 gallons.
- Just like Party Margarita recipe, you should serve with lime wedges, a saucer of kosher salt, and 6-oz plastic cups like airlines use. Lime the rim, touch the rim to the salt, drop the lime into the cup, and dispense.

STRAWBERRY-MANGO MARGARITA DESSERT (VIRGIN)
This recipe I got from Pillsbury Spring Get-togethers April/May 07 book. This is a very tasty dessert and it makes a beautiful presentation. It's nice to take to a potluck or party. The original recipe calls for crushed pretzels for the crust. After making and tasting the pretzels got a bit soggy. I felt it would taste better with a graham cracker crust. However, I have not tried the graham cracker crust yet. Either way I hope you enjoy!
