Memorial-Day Margaritas

A weekend ago Isaac and I went to a large, backyard picnic, hosted by some friends, to celebrate Memorial Day in the traditional way. Among other amusements, we were entertained by a young magician who kept the adults and the annoying and precocious children amused. I ate hot dogs; they always taste better at Memorial-Day picnics.

New freinds whom we met there were circulating at one point with a pitcher of their own-recipe Margaritas, which were quite tasty and suited my favored style of cooking from scratch: opening cans. I honed my skills in the seventies.

If I wrote it down correctly, this is the recipe Steve & Lorraine recited. I haven't tried it myself yet for accuracy and understandability, but none of the ingredients look dangerous.

Memorial-Day Margaritas

  • 1 can frozen limeade concentrate
  • 1 can tequila
  • 3 cans water
  • 1 can triple sec
  • 1 can beer

Mix and put in the freezer for awhile. We had ours in salt-rimmed plastic cups.

Let me know if you try it and it turns out the way it should.
