Want to make a homemade margarita? Here's the easiest way to do it, and you'll always have frozen margaritas in your freezer, ready to go.
What do you need?
- One can of limeade
- Water
- Tequila
- Grand Marnier, or a substitute like Grand Marnier
How do you make it?
Read the directions on the can of limeade. It's going to say to add four and a third cans of water to the one can of limeade. Follow that recipe, except swap one can of water for one can of tequila, and use Grand Marnier, or a substitute like it, for the third of a can.
How do you know you got it right?
Put it in the freezer. If you've done it right, it should be slushy.
- If it's totally watery, you may have added a little too much tequila. That happens to me, too.
- If it's frozen solid, add some more tequila.
Then you'll always have frozen margaritas in your freezer, ready to go. Cheers from C.W. Ross and the HomeCoach team. If you're ever ready to talk about real estate, get in touch.
