In some cases, whole fruit can be substituted for some or all of the juice. Non-acidic fruits are fine, too, but you may need to add a tablespoon or so of lemon or lime juice (such as lemon juice and watermelon) to balance the flavors. Other acidic fruits, such as pomegranate or cranberry, also are good. It’s nice to balance the bite of the tequila with citrus, such as lime juice (the traditional choice), lemon juice (especially refreshing), orange juice or pineapple. STEP 2: Now that you’re liquored up, consider how to flavor your drink. If you’d rather skip the liqueur, increase the tequila to 21/2 ounces (no one wants a margarita without oomph).Īnd in case you don’t have a measuring cup that does fluid ounces, 2 ounces is the same as 1/4 cup. You’ll need about 2 ounces of tequila per serving. Tequila is the throat-burner of choice, and it often is combined with orange liqueur, such as triple sec (any liqueur can be substituted depending on the flavor combination you’re going for). ![]() And once you’ve mastered that, you’ll never need another recipe. But learning the proper proportions for this icy refreshment is easy. If you lack the latter, you’re on your own. You need just two things to create great frozen margaritas: a sense of proportion and a blender. Labor Day is summer’s last hurrah, a chance to relax with the quintessential hot-weather beverage - the margarita. ![]()
