| Help!! Somehow I opened my mouth and am now having a Tex-Mex/ Margarita party for about 50 people. Does anyone have info on making enough margaritas for that big of a crowd without running out? I am a misplaced Texan in Australia for a couple years and I have not been able to find ANY mixes ANYWHERE...not even margarita salt! Haven't been able to locate a big frozen machine to rent either, but am still hunting. Thanks so much! |

| Can you buy Tequila? Triple sec?...or cuantro?...Limes?..And Kosher salt can sub very well for Margarita salt. The classic Margarita....the Mexican drink....not the Tex-Mex thing....is 2 oz of fresh lime juice, 1 1/2 oz tequila, one oz ( or a little more) triple sec and sugar to taste......I don't use sugar. But...be careful....this can hit hard! This is not a tall glass drink. Linda C |

| Linda C- You are making my mouth water!!! Thanks for the recipe. I am pretty sure that is the standard Margarita drink. I am not aware of a special 'TexMex' version. I know I can get Tequila, but will have to check on Triple Sec or Cuantro. Glad to know the tip on salt, that will save me from more hunting! Thank you! |

| The "Tex-Mex" Margarita also includes a quantity of sweet and sour mix...non alcoholic. Stir the above recipe with lots of ice....and serve on the rocks, or just whirr in a blender with ice for frozen maragritas. Linda C |

| I've got a good recipe that uses frozen lemonade and limeade plus the tequila. I can post if you'd like. |

| IdahoMom, Thank you for the offer, but I am in Australia right now and unfortunately, I have not seen ANYTHING like a frozen concentrated drink ANYWHERE. I ended up using straight tequila, cointreau and fresh lime juice for my party. WOW! It was strong! I guess I am used to the kind with a sweet and sour mix. I still have a jug of the margaritas in the freezer...they'll have to be diluted by blending with ice and making them frozen margaritas!!! |

| I realized AFTER posting that this was pretty outdated. Your margaritas sound tasty but I would have ended up asleep I'm such a wimp. Hope it was fun! |
