Our original recipe from the 70’s
This recipe has been a favourite of ours since before blenders and the internet, note the original text from our handwritten recipe book, even with the spelling mistakes. We need to double it for 2 of our really large glasses, and these days we have really good blender to make soft, fluffy ice.
That said, it is still the best Margarita we have had and we have had plenty of them in lots of places.
FROZEN JUICE MIX
Frozen juices for Margaritas
The best time to have beautiful fresh citrus juices is in Winter but the best time to drink a Margarita is Summer.
The solution –
- Squeeze heaps of that fresh juice. A mix of lemon and lime is essential and maybe add some mandarin, orange, or tangelo. Whatever is available and tangy and fresh.
- Add one cup of sugar per litre of juice, bring to the boil, scoop off any scum, strain.
- Let it cool.
- Get some zip lock bags and label them. Put about 450ml of juice in each bag and squeeze out as much air as possible.
- Lay the bags flat in the freezer until frozen.
MAKING A JUG OF MARGARITA
Put the bag of juice in the fridge about an how Iur before needing it. Add everything to a jug, mix it up with a stick mixer. Salt the rim of half the glass (keeps everyone happy). Add ice to the serving glass and pour in some of blended cocktail.
