Mary Anne's Margaritas - A Tutorial

Last month, I spent three days Quilting on the Kaw - a fabulous retreat with my KC MQG friends!

Everyone contributed something special.  Carla taught a class on QR Code quilts.  Denise taught a class on fabric-wrapped clothesline bags and baskets.  Kristen had a spontaneous class on Zentangling.  Me?  I made margaritas!

I promised to post a tutorial so...at long last...here it is:



You'll need:

Tequila
Triple Sec (orange liqueur)
Minute Maid frozen limeade (6 oz)
Limes
Salt (optional)
Ice
Blender
Measuring Cup

Start by filling your blender with ice - about 1/2 to 2/3 full, depending upon how thick you like your margs.

Add 6 oz of limeade to the blender.  For some reason, in KC, I can only find limeade in 12 oz cans.  So...scoop out half and toss it in the blender.

Measure out approximately 2 oz of Triple Sec

add to that about  4 oz of Tequila

Pour it in your blender and blend until smooth.





For a salted rim, take a lim wedge and rub it around the rim of your glass and then press the rim into salt.


Pour into your prepared glass, squeeze in a lime wedge and enjoy!
