Freezing Tips for the Perfect Slap Your Mama Margaritas

[loreo]

I've never made t he "Slap Your Mama Margaritas" it says you can freeze the 7-Up, beer and tequilla ahead of time. Do you freeze them in their original containers (which doesn't make sense to me) or do you ppour them in the pitcher ahead of time and freeze them?

Thanks!

You dont want them to be frozen hard you want them to be slushy. So I would freeze in their own container's and then add to quick stir when you are ready to make.

I love this recipe- and do it often! I've never frozen the carbonated components... but I do freeze the tequila and put the other ingredients in the refrigerator before assembly. I would imagine freezing the beer and soda would get rid of all its fizz- which adds a lot to the recipe!

I agree with Shelly. The last time I did this for a show, I put the beer and rum in the freezer in the morning before leaving for work (the host supplied the 7-Up), and by the time I got home 10 hours later, they were perfect. Only one bottle of beer was too frozen to use right away (but, I had 4 with me, so it wasn't needed).

I froze the beer and tequila last time (the host provided the 7-Up and limeade), and they were both fine - even after being in the freezer for 10 hours. Only one beer (out of 4) was too frozen to use right away, but the fizz was definitely still there.

Here's another hint - if you have the Lemon Sprinkles, pour a little bit of beer into a plate, and use that instead of lime to wet the rim of the glasses, then dip in the Sprinkles. The guests loved it when I did this at my last Margarita show, and almost everyone bought the Sprinkles! (I think the lime makes it to citrus-y)
