This recipe is not "easy bake" but it is easy. The "idiot margarita" is a recipe from my brother-in-law and we've been making them his way for a long time now. Easy, easy, easy and WAY better than any margarita mix, this is one of those recipes that everyone will request as in "...and bring those margaritas". It is all based on one measure of a frozen limeade...more cans of limeade makes more margaritas.
Idiot Margaritas
frozen limeade
beer
tequila
water/club soda/ice
Empty one can of frozen limeade into a pitcher or mixer. Fill the can with tequila and add to mix. Fill the can with beer and add to the mix. Mix or stir and serve over ice.
The secret to this recipe is the beer...it makes the margaritas nice and foamy. Adjust the tequila amount by adding less than a can but be sure to fill the partially full can with water or club soda. Of course, garnish with fresh limes and margarita salt.
As always, I'd love to hear from anybody that makes these...let me know! And happy Cinco de Mayo.
These sound great! Thanks for the recipe--I'm looking forward to trying it.

I tried it tonight and yum! Very good! Do you think you could freeze it and serve it slushy?

I love a good margarita and it is becoming the perfect time of year for them. My parents just bought a lake house and I think I will make a batch of this to take so we can use it as a toast to their new place.

This has been my favorite margarita recipe since we served it at a Pampered Chef Mexican and Margarita party.
