Ingredients

  • 6 cups crushed ice cubes
  • 1 can (12 oz) frozen lemonade concentrate
  • 1 can (12 oz) frozen limeade concentrate
  • 1 cup confectioners powdered sugar
  • 1 liter chilled club soda
  • 1-2 limes, cut into wedges
  • 1/2 cup coarse ground salt

How To Make virgin margarita (sallye)

  • Step 1
    Set the frozen limeade and lemonade out to partially thaw about 15 minutes before you begin
  • Step 2
    Pour about half of the crushed ice into your blender.
  • Step 3
    Spoon about half of the limeade and lemonade and sugar into your blender,
  • Step 4
    Blend on high speed until all ingredients are well mixed, but still slushy
  • Step 5
    Pour into a pretty glass pitcher if you have one; otherwise a large clear jar with a lid will do.
  • Step 6
    Pout half of the club soda into the margarita mixture and stir gently with a wooden spoon until blended
  • Step 7
    Place the salt into a flat dessert plate or saucer. Wet the rim of your glasses and turn them face down into the salt, then turn them upright
  • Step 8
    Pour margarita mixture into the glasses and place a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
  • Step 9
    Repeat this process with other halves of the ingredients. You can use this second half immediately or pour into a freezer friendly covered container and freeze for later use.
