Ultimate Frozen Strawberry Margarita

A near perfect strawberry margarita with frozen strawberries and limeade concentrate.

Ingredients:
 6 fluid ounces tequila
 2 fluid ounces triple sec
 8 ounces frozen sliced strawberries in syrup
 4 fluid ounces frozen limeade concentrate

Directions:
Fill a blender with ice and crush. Pour in the tequila and triple sec. Add the strawberries and limeade. Blend for 30 seconds or until smooth. Serve in margarita glasses with the rims dipped in powdered sugar.

Beer Margaritas

Who would believe that beer would be the perfect solution to eradicating fluorescent green margaritas? Well, it is! Best to use not-so-micro brews to avoid an overpowering beer flavor. Use the limeade can to measure the ingredients, and adjust with extra water if the mixture seems too sweet. Straining the pulp is always a good idea, unless, of course, you like pulp!

Ingredients:
 1 (12 fluid ounce) can frozen limeade concentrate
 12 fluid ounces tequila
 12 fluid ounces water
 12 fluid ounces beer
 ice
 1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions:
Pour limeade, tequila, water, and beer into a large pitcher. Stir until well-blended, and limeade has melted. Add plenty of ice, and garnish with lime wedges. Adjust with additional water, if needed.
