Bites and Bevs Quick-Stir Margaritas

[frozenchef]

So I just booked a Bites & Bevs show and I mentioned possibly making margaritas and my host loved the idea - I heard the idea on a tele class but have not been able to find the recipe (I'm awful at mixing drinks w/o a recipe) - the lady who mentioned it, called them Quick-Stir Margaritas, so I'm assuming it's using the Quick-Stir pitcher.
I'm doing the basic Bites and Bevs show this Sunday and I personally do not care for the recipes in it :yuck: - any one have any other ideas I could use for my next Bites and Bevs show?

This goes well in a Quik-Stir.

Margarita Punch
> 1 (12 oz) cans frozen lemonade (undiluted, THAWED)

> 1 (6 oz) can frozen orange juice (undiluted, THAWED)
> 4 cups water
> 1 1/2 liter Sprite or 7-Up
> 1 cups Tequila - OPTIONAL
>> Mix together, serve over ice.

If you're looking for a drink, you can make the lemon-lime variation of the Cran-raspberry fizz, and add tequila instead of vodka. It tastes just like margaritas.As far as appetizers, do you want something Mexican-ish to go with Margaritas, or does that not matter? Touchdown Taco dip is really good, and you can even mix it up by making it in individual tortilla cups as bite-size treats. Clubhouse Chicken Squares are really tasty, too. You can "Mexicanize" them by using a seasoned cooked chicken breast instead of canned chicken. If you season with the SW seasoning, then it will add that Mexican flavor (and add some to the cream cheese mixture, too).
