Happy Cinco de Mayo!
I hope you and your family are having fun celebrating this special day. I have a really yummy recipe to share with you in honor of Cinco de Mayo.
May I introduce you to Margarita?!
Now I know what you’re thinking. Yeah, yeah it’s a margarita. Nothing special. But there is something special about this margarita! It’s not your typical margarita mix, tequila and ice folks! No, this baby has a secret ingredient.
I love margaritas, but not frozen. I usually get mine on the rocks with LOTS of salt. However, this is one frozen margarita that I heart. I learned how to make these from an old family friend a long time ago. Here are your ingredients:
Tequila, ice, frozen limeade concentrate and lime sherbet.
Have I gotten your attention now? Not what you are used to seeing in a margarita, is it?
For one batch {about 4 margaritas}, you’ll need 1 cup crushed ice, 1/2 container frozen limeade concentrate, 4 large scoops lime sherbet and 2-4 shots tequila {based on your preference, I use 3}.
Add all ingredients to the blender.
And blend until smooth and funneling in the center.
Pour into a salted {or un if you prefer} glass and sit back and relax!
Happy Cinco de Mayo friends!

I prefer mine on the rocks, too. But this sounds so good. Yum
YUM! I've got to make this!
I'm like you that I prefer my margaritas not frozen but this would make me a convert. My margarita recipe uses frozen limeade, too. Sometime when you don't have sherbet on hand, try this recipe: can of frozen limeade (large or small one doesn't matter because the proportions are the same), 3 cans water, 1 can tequila, 1/3 can triple sec (or Grand Marnier is you're feeling rich). Basically, you're just adding the same amount of liquid that the can calls for (4 1/3 cans). No one will buy packed mix again (that stuff is nasty)!
Delicious! Like Baskin-Robbins for adults!
Great recipes – thanks for sharing! I made this and blogged about it last week with a link back to you! Thanks again for the recipe! http://momscrazycooking.blogspot.com/2012/05/different-kind-of-margarita-sherbet-ice.html
