Hey mommas! Happy Friday!! Hope you all had a fabulous week! It's sure been a busy week around my house! Mr. Mojito is hard at work this week building a rock patio in our backyard, and I am pretty darn excited about it! I can't wait to sit out there when the weather gets nice and relax in a lawn chair with an ice cold cocktail in hand. Eek! I'm getting excited just thinking about it!
If you didn't already know it, next week on Thursday, February 22nd is National Margarita Day which is my 2nd favorite drink holiday behind National Mojito Day of course!! Over the year and a half I have been writing this cocktail blog, I've given you quite a few margarita recipes...BUT I haven't given you my frozen margarita recipe yet! Well, in honor of National Margarita Day, I now present to you my delicious, quick, and oh so easy Frozen Margarita!! Enjoy mommas and I will see you next week! ;)
xo, Momma Mojito
MOMMA MOJITO'S FROZEN MARGARITA (a pitcher's worth)
Ingredients:
- 1 6 oz. can of Minute Maid Frozen Limeade (sometimes the 6oz. size is hard to find--you can make it with the 12oz. size and just double the rest of the ingredients and this will make 2 pitchers worth--otherwise just pour half of the 12oz. can out and save for another use.)
- 6 oz. Agave Silver Tequila (just use the limeade can for measuring!
- 3 oz. Triple Sec or your favorite Orange Liqueur
- 1 tsp. of Agave Syrup (more if you like it super sweet or omit if you don't want any sweetness)
- Fresh Lime Juice to Taste (I think the juice of one lime is enough but you be the judge)
- Ice (about 4-5 cups is good)
- Kosher Salt for the Rim
- Lime Wedge or Slice for Garnish
Directions:
Pour out some of the kosher salt in a saucer or on a plate. Run a sliced lime over the rim of your margarita glasses and then dip the glasses into the salt all along the rim until coated. Set aside. In a blender, pour in the limeade, tequila, triple sec, and agave syrup. Next, add the ice. Blend until smooth. You may need to stop the blender a couple times for stirring. Add enough ice until frozen and smooth, not watery. Pour into the glasses and garnish with a slice of lime. Enjoy!
Mr. Mojito really needed this margarita after a long day of working on my new patio!! :)
