Better Late Than Never: Raspberry Margaritas

I had promised to post my newest concoction in the cocktail world many weeks ago, but life can be so busy! New grandchild (happy), my baby's college graduation (happy), my own anniversary (happy), and a bridal event to host (happy)- thus, the newest cocktail development. My colors for the party are pale pink and chocolate, so when I inquired to the bride for her preference on a cocktail - vodka or tequila type - she likes tequila. The PPP would have been the right color but wrong inebrient. PPP (Pink Panty Pulldown) is in January blog collection, if you are looking for it. Introducing to you, faithful readers, a very nice twist to a traditional margarita. And, for your information, they can be prepared well in advance. I have done 4 gallons last week for next week's soiree. Get going on yours and enjoy for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend.



Raspberry Margaritas

12 oz. can raspberry lemonade concentrate (Kroger has)          2 Tbsp. Raspberry Chambord
juice of 2 limes                                                                     1/4 can Triple Sec
1/2 can tequila                                                                      lots of ice

Use lemonade can for measuring when noted. Put all in blender, then fill blender with ice. Blend to slush. Garnish with lime wedge. Beautiful shade of pink.
