Margaritas

Citrusy and slightly sweet, these margaritas go down easy.

Servings: 1 drink
Total Time: 5 Minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces (½ cup) all-natural limeaid, such as Newman's Own
  • 1½ ounces (3 tablespoons or 1 shot) Tequila
  • ½ ounce (1 tablespoon) orange liqueur, such as Cointreau or Grand Marnier
  • ½ ounce (1 tablespoon) fresh lime juice, from ½ a lime
  • Lime slices, for garnish
  • Coarse salt for rimming the glass

Instructions

  1. Place coarse salt on a small plate. Rub rim of glass with lime wedge and dip in coarse salt if desired. Add ice to glass if using.
  2. Combine drink ingredients in a cocktail shaker, add some ice and shake vigorously, then strain into prepared glass. Garnish rim with lime slice.
  3. Note: If you want to prepare a pitcher instead of making individual cocktails, simply adjust the quantities for the number of drinks you need. Mix the limeade, tequila, Cointreau and lime juice in a pitcher, keep cool, then pour into prepared glasses over ice when ready to serve.
