Have any of y'all come across a recipe for virgin margaritas that taste somewhere near the same as the regular ones?

Thanks,

PJ

I had wondered if just the plain margarita mix wouldn't just taste a lot like lime, that's why I hadn't tried it yet.

I used to bartend, but that was almost 30 years ago. (man, where has the time flown to). Trying to think of replacement tastes for the liquor hasn't been easy. I have a frozen margarita machine that my family got me for last mother's day that I haven't ever cranked up. I'm having an office party at my house and would love to come up with a good virgin recipe to use in the machine. Guess I have a lot of time to practice, it's not for a couple of months yet....

Thanks,
PJ

Hey Sue, How's the lip Balm? I've been meaning to stop back into the store I got it in, and pick up one for me. But it's the "birding store", and It's a dangerous place. LOL I picked up quite a few things while I was in there, and wanted to take home more! LOL

Skinnygirl has been sold for months now, but the one-time managers didn't go after "their" piece of the pie until now? Basically they were "timing" the market, waiting to see where Skinnygirl would go so they could demand more and more money. What would these creeps do if Skinnygirl had tanked 6 months in? Like if consumers decided this stuff tasted like crud? Or there was some weird manufacturing problem that contaminated the beverages and sickened people? They would be running away from this as fast as they could and disavowing any connection with her! Now, I'm sure she found a good lawyer before (or at least mid-run into) the Real Housewives show, and any sane person would be having that lawyer look over every contract. She seems smart enough to know not to get snookered into oral agreements. Sorry, but vultures is a good word. People who (OK, allegedly!) just sit back and wait to pounce. I can't wait to hear exactly what these ex-managers did to earn their 10%. (PS: After the promos for the most-recent episode, where she starts crying over this "life-changing" moment -- I thought she was pregnant again!)

Jasdip, I've seen recipes for pork roast with cranberry sauce cooked (I think in a crockpot). After the roast cooks, you thicken the sauce with corn starch. I haven't made it, but it sounds good. Have you tried the Ocean Spray website? They may have recipes there. I love cranberry sauce! Haven't tried this, but anything with Ritz crackers is great in my book. TOFFEE BITES (Kitchen Trials) 1 box Ritz crackers (225g) 1 bag Werther's Original Hard Candy (180g) 1 can sweetened condensed milk Preheat your oven to 350F with a rack in the middle position. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a mat or parchment paper.Unwrap the caramels, place in a zip lock bag, and use a rolling pin to break into small pieces. Do the same to break the crackers into small pieces. Put the broken crackers, caramels, and condensed milk into a medium bowl and mix well with a fork.Dump the mixture on the the prepared baking sheet, and use a spatula to spread out to an even, 1/2" thickness. Bake for 15 minutes. While the bites are baking lay a sheet of parchment paper on your counter. Dump the cooked mixture onto the parchment, and as it cools use two spoons to break it up into bite size pieces. Let cool completely before eating.

Kadefol both yes and no. I made a rolled cake one Christmas. Between a quarter to a third was left. It disappeared from the front of the frig and I thought someone had eaten it. I found it in the back of one of the shelves when I started cleaning it out a couple of months later. The cut end had whipped cream from edge to edge. When I was scraping the container a blob or the whipped cream landed on my hand. In removing I noticed that it felt and smelled like any other whipped cream. All it had on were two pieces of Glad wrap.

Experiment with some orgeat syrup. It can add a nuance that can mimick that 'boozy' taste. A touch of Rose's Lime Juice can add character. Don't use too much as you do not want it to taste like a gimlet.

Also use the zest of fruits, not the just citrus juice, for a more 'liquor' taste. For instance, some orange zest added can mimic the Triple Sec or Cointreau.

Adding the zest of both lemon and lime will take the tart mouth feel away from the non-alcoholic blended drinks and the volatile oils in the zest will mimic the alcohol that is missing.

Experiment with proportions of the ingredients.
