Virgin Party Margarita Recipes

VIRGIN MARGARITA

Steps:

• Combine the ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake vigorously.
• Pour into a glass.
• Note: If serving frozen, combine the ingredients in a blender with 3/4 cup ice and blend until smooth. Pour into a glass.
• Garnish with a lime wedge.

FROZEN VIRGIN MARGARITA RECIPE

Steps:

• Pour 1 cup of water (236 ml) into a small saucepan over medium high heat, then mix in 1 cup of sugar (200g) until it dissolves. Pour it into a shallow container and put in the freezer for 10 minutes to speed up the cooling process.
• Wash and dry 9 limes and 2 lemons. Grate the zest of one lime, then mix it with the margarita salt and spread on a plate. Wedge the lime and run a wedge around the rim of the glass, then twirl the rim in the salt until coated. Repeat with the remaining glasses.
• Roll 6 limes on the counter, applying pressure with your hand to soften them. (Set aside the other three for garnish.) Cut the rolled limes in half and microwave them on high for 30 seconds to make them easier to juice. Juice the limes and lemons with a citrus press. You should have ½ cup of each lemon and lime juice.
• Blend together all the ingredients except the sparkling water in the blender, then blend in enough crushed ice to make the drink thick and frozen. You should have nearly 9 cups. If you have a small blender, do this step in two batches.
• Pour the sparkling water into the margarita mixture. It will fizz a little! Stir until mixed, then carefully pour the margaritas into the prepared glasses.
• Thinly slice a lime crosswise, then make a small slit in each slice so it sits nicely on the rim of the glass. Set the lime wheel on the rim of the glass, then serve the margarita immediately. You can also freeze the drinks in the glasses for up to 2 hours.

VIRGIN PARTY MARGARITA

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.
