Basic Margarita


It's not fancy, but it's ridiculously easy to make and people love it.

1 can Minute Maid frozen concentraded lemonade
1.5 cans water
1 can tequila (my current favorite is Sauza Horintos because it's widely available, not too expensive, and tasty enough)
.25 can orange liquor (Citronge, Grand Marnier, and Cointreau are all good)Stir ingredients in a glass pitcher until lemonade concentrate is melted. Pour into short glasses filled with ice and with salted rims. Garnish with a lime wedge.

Heck, you don't even need any bar tools!

Update 9/27/2014: Still enjoying this recipe years later, but my latest go-to tequila is Olmeca Altos Reposado. It's tasty and often available for under $20 / 750ml. Here in Kansas City, I've picked it up  at both of the major grocery chains, Hyvee and Price Chopper.
