Quick-Stir Margaritas Recipe Requested: Answers Wanted!

[frozenchef]

So I thought I had posted this question somewhere, but now I can't remember where to see if anyone replied (yes, I know I should subscribe to the thread).

Anyways, does any have the recipe for Quick-Stir Margaritas? An upcoming host made a request for them.

 

[DebbieJ]

These are my fav:Slap Your Mama Margaritas2 cans 7 - up
1 12 oz. can frozen limeade
8 oz tequila
1 bottle Corona beer
(no substitutes)Just dump everything into the QUICK STIR PITCHER
and plunge. To make it even “slushier”, freeze the 7-up, beer and tequila ahead of time.

 

[frozenchef]

MargaritasOh! I love it! Now I have two quick-stir pitchers so I was hoping to also do maybe strawberry or raspberry (my favorite!) margaritas as well...

 

[chefann]

The lemon-lime version of the Cran-Raspberry Fizz tastes a lot like a margarita, especially if you add tequila to it.

Not to sound like a TOTAL dummy but...do you thaw the frozen limeade before adding to the QSP? (This weekend will be my first time ever demonstrating a drink in the QSP!)


Thanks!

 

[DebbieJ]

I take it out when I get to the host's house so it's kind of slushy by the time we make the drink. It's not necessary to totally thaw it b/c the other liquids plus the action of the plunger will help break it down. You want slush.

No. The best feature of the QSP is that it breaks up frozen juices really quickly (even orange juice).

 

[bridgetbakes]

Thanks Ladies!!!

Hmmm..., I wonder if I should make this recipe at home first to "try it out." :angel: Tee-hee!

 

[sl_ostertag]

I have made these margaritas many times....I would suggest to add the Corona last though. It tends to foam a lot when added in with the other ingredients. So add everything else together, plunge then add Corona and then slowly plunge again.

Well if you do - make sure to invite the rest of us!!! I will bring the salsa and chips!!!

Anyone have a recipe that does NOT contain beer? (I am still looking for a version with alcohol, just not beer.)

I usually make mine from the Margarita Mix sold in Costco - add my tequila and some triple sec - You can add some fresh lime juice also using the citrus press -

Oh, my goodness you have to try this one! I know it sounds crazy but it is fabulous! I actually posted the recipe a Long, long time ago on here. I got it from my friend Duska from San Antonio and they are some of the best Margaritas!!!!

 

[BethCooks4U]

I can't wait to get home and try that recipe! Sounds fun! I have a chocolate show with a good friend coming up and she loves margaritas... does chocolate go good with margaritas?

[frozenchef]

I was thinking that margaritas go good with everything!

 

[pckrissy]

You guys are killing me!! These margaritas are my FAVORITE and not to sound like a lush but they are the thing I miss most durning this pregnancy!!!
So if you are making them soon, PLEASE have one for me!!

I make these alot at shows and they are a hit, in fact once I found out I was expecting I told my hosts that if I can't have a margarita neither can they, just kidding

Enjoy 'em!!

Kelly~how come you can't put beer in? Just curious...

 

[fruit76loop]

What's the recipe?

The same one that's listed in this post. Sorry I wasn't clear about that!!

 

[jenm42]

I always have made the one my director makes... it's easy... and no beer...

1 12 oz can frozen limeade
1 12 oz can frozen lemonade
12 oz tequila
1 2-liter bottle of DIET lemon-lime soda, any kind
lots of ice

Put the frozen concentrates (should be mostly thawed or at least soft-ish) into the Family size QSP. Add the tequila and use the plunger to mix it up well. Add ice to fill about half the pitcher. SLOWLY add the entire bottle of diet soda. Plunge to mix.

People really like this recipe, and I've eliminated the tequila lots of times if the host doesn't want alcohol for whatever reason. The most frequent question I get is why DIET soda... it's because if you use regular soda the mixture becomes too sweet. My Director calls these Easy Mexican Margaritas... and I almost always pair this with a Chicken Enchilada Ring, which is probably my favorite demo recipe of all time. =)

[vtodd71]

Hmmmmmm... I'm thinking a Jimmy Buffett theme fresh with Cheeseburgers and everything would be great.

 

[frozenchef]

vtodd71 - that is an awesome idea!!!

 

[KellyTheChef]

I just HATE the taste of beer!! No other reason!

Thanks Jen!

I wanted to have a "no beer" as well as a non-alcoholic recipe, you gave me BOTH!!

I am saving BOTH recipes so I can offer them to my host and she can choose what she wants to do!

vtodd71 - that is an awesome idea!!!

I did a Buffett show - we had margaritas, I demo'd the Aloha pizza, Host made cheeseburgers in Paradise - I gave out a prize for the best Buffettwear - everyone had flip flops on and Jimmy was signing (on my ipod) in the background - Oh and those who didn't drink the margaritas had coronas - but this year - we will be serving his own line of beer!!

 

[bsaxman]

Someone on here gave this one to me, and its the BEST that I've tasted yet! Yumm!

Margarita Punch
2 (12 oz) cans frozen lemonade (undiluted, THAWED)
1 (12 oz) can frozen limeade (undiluted, THAWED)
1 (12 oz) can frozen orange juice (undiluted, THAWED)
8 cups water
1 (3 litre) Sprite/7-Up
2 cups Tequila

Mix together, serve over ice. Makes 1 1/2 gallons.

And now for the more sophisticated Buffet fans, you can serve the cheeseburger salad (in the collapsable bowl of course), pina colada upside-down cake and put your margarita glasses in the party sticks!

 

[fruit76loop]

I hate beer too, but you really can't taste it in these margaritas! Give em a try!!

 

[vtodd71]

vtodd71 - that is an awesome idea!!!

Thanks! I LOVE Jimmy Buffett and have been lucky enough to see him perform. Some of you thought I might be joking but I'm looking at putting together a future Jimmy Buffett theme cooking show in the near future. There is a local Parrot Head Club here in town that I might call and invite.

You have given me some great ideas. Thanks! I like the flip flop ideas. I could give out a prize for the oddest pair of flip flops or wackiest Hula shirt.

Oh that sounds like fun too - wasn't sure about the sophisticated part though?? Every concert of his I have gone to did have too many "sophisticated" people - just a bunch of Parrot heads enjoying great music , awesome food and drinks and good company!

 

[ConnieR]

I might just have to try <i>EVERY</i> recipe on here to see which one is the best. Thanks for all your ideas!

Oh, did I mention, I am the only one in my househould that drinks margarita!

When I did my Buffett shows I went to orientaltrading.com and got the grass skirt for my demo table, drink umbrellas, leis and lots of other fun stuff! :thumbup: :thumbup:

People really enjoyed that month!!

 

[bridgetbakes]

Got back from tonight's show and just wanted to give feedback on the 7-up/limeade/tequila/corona recipe...

Most really loved it but the professed "margarita lovers" in the group thought it was "only OK" and said it definitely wasn't there favorite. It DID really show off the QSP however. And they all LOVED the JC Nachos, though most would have added more Jamaican Jerk seasoning than the recipe calls for.

Thanks ladies for posting the margarita recipes! :thumbup:

Now I need to go pray that the snow predicted for Sunday doesn't cancel my next show! :cry:
