Best Margarita Recipe Ever

This recipe comes from my mom.  I think she got it from one of the Sweet Potato Queens books.  They have some great recipes in their book Sweet Potato Queens’ Big-Ass Cookbook (and Financial Planner).

In a pitcher, combine

• 12 oz bottle Corona Extra (not Light)
• 12 oz frozen limeade concentrate
• 12 oz 7 Up (not diet! measure with the limeade can)
• 12 oz tequila

Don’t you DARE wrinkle your nose at me until you have tried it, hon.  Many folks assume that it must be awful if you’re mixing beer and 7 Up.  But I will assure you, I lived in Texas for eight years and had many a margarita.  These are fabulous.

I sometimes have to cut back on the tequila a bit–especially if I’m expected to parent as I drink.  I find these are best if you mix them and let them sit in the fridge a few hours for the fizz to wear off.  Even better the next day as left-overs.  And I usually hate left-overs.  Enjoy!
