I'm having a ladies night tomarrow, how do you make a margarita?

Question

It's a "women only" party and I thought Margaritas would be fun, but I've never made 'em before. How much ice will I need? Will it work if I have my own flavor mix and what do I add to it? What exatly is in a Magarita?

Answer 1

Squeeze TWO fresh lime wedges into shaker.
Add 2 oz. Tequila.
Add 1-1/4 oz. of fresh Lime Juice
Add 1/2 oz. of Triple Sec
Add "a splash" of Orange Curaco or Orange liquor.
Shake vigorously .
Rim glass with Lime peel (outside only!).
Salt the outside only.
Add fresh ice.
Strain mixture over ice.

You can also change the shaker for a blender and have a frozen beverage,
Or another version i like is Midori Margarita, just change the splash of orange liquor for 1/2 OZ of Midori Melon liquor

Answer 2

Oooh! Can I come too? lol

You need a fifth bottle of tequila - go for Cuervo or Margaritaville brands - you don't need the best quality but you don't want to drink the cheap cr ap. Then the easy way is to get a bag of ice and a bottle of premade mix (you can find it in the grocery store or at the liquor store). 1/3 bottle of tequila, 1/2 bottle of mix and fill the blender the rest of the way with the ice. Blend until you don't hear the ice ticking away any more. You can salt the rim of the glass if you want to.

Have fun and make sure those who are going home have a designated driver!

Answer 3

Frozen ones are the best so use the blender use equal parts of everything tequila,margarita mix, and triple sec is all you'll need. Grab a couple bags of ice it depends on how many guest your having.

Answer 4

This site will give you tons of Margarita receipes. When I have my girlfriends over, serving different kinds of margaritas are fun. You should definately make a classic margarita and a frozen one. Frozen mango margaritas are awesome. you can probably buy the mango mix in a liquor store and just add tequilla.

This is the best and simplest recipe I have ever found.

equal parts tequila, corona, lime-aid, sprite. stir with a spoon or spatula, DO NOT USE A BLENDER!!! refrigerate for two hours. When putting the drinks together, use a new, wet sponge and Kosher Salt for the rim. Have a great party!
