In keeping with my Mocktails research... I love to do programs on Mocktails and Cocktails using herbs and just set a few this week! (check out the Programs page)
I am working on blender drinks for a new version for 2023 and have been creating faux margaritas as a result. Since it is National Margarita Day, here is one of my favorites. You will have to let me know what you think. Is it program worthy?
Mock Citrus Margarita
- 1 6-ounce can, frozen limeade concentrate
- 3/4 cup orange juice
- 2/3 cup unsweetened grapefruit juice infused with lemon balm
- 25 to 30 ice cubes (about 4 cups)
- Course sugar or salt and lime slices
To infuse the grapefruit juice, add 1 cup juice and 1 cup lemon balm (fresh or dried) to a jar and let steep overnight in the refrigerator. To make the mocktail, combine frozen limeade concentrate, orange juice and 3/4 cups of infused grapefruit juice in a blender container. Cover and blend till smooth. With the motor running, add ice cubes, a few at a time through the hole in the lid blending until slushy.
Rub the rims of 8 rocks glasses or 4 margarita glasses with lime and invert in a dish of sugar or salt. Shake off the excess. Pour the margaritas into the glasses and serve with a lime slice. Will make 4 8-ounce servings or 8 4-ounce servings.
