I am doing a show out of town and realized I forgot my Quick Stir Pitcher. My host doesn't have one. Can I make the Margaritas in a regular pitcher???
 
Of course. Just be careful that you stir everything well (but not frantically).
 
use your mix n chop if you have one :)

My only dilemma is I DON't HAVE ANY! :D Sorry...couldn't resist. After working in the yard on a warm day, those margaritas or lemonade just hit the spot.
