Frozen Margaritas

The fact that I'm 9 months-pregnant may make it strange to see a recipe for frozen margaritas, but we had some good friends who were moving to Texas so naturally their going away party was a Tex-Mex theme and what goes better with Tex-Mex food than a margarita? I made several batches of these frozen margaritas for the party. They are a hit!

My mom keeps a batch of these in her freezer a lot of the time and when we're up there (and I'm not pregnant) it makes a summer evening to sit on the patio with a margarita. This recipe has become a family favorite. You can store a batch in the freezer for a few weeks and it doesn't seem to go bad (if you can keep it around that long.) A pitcher of the frozen margaritas would be a great addition to a Labor Day barbecue.

Frozen Margaritas4 c. water

1 can frozen limeade

1 c. tequila

1/2 c. triple sec

1 lime, juiced

Mix everything together and freeze for several hours. You may have to let it sit on the counter for a little while if it's been in the freezer for a really long time. Or you can smash it up with a wooden spoon and eat it like a slushie.
