Frozen Lemon-Berry Margaritas


After a day of baking how about a mixed drink?? Megan got this recipe from http://www.tasteofhome.com/ and I just HAD to try it!! The first time I made it I did not get the seeds out and I think that really needs to be done otherwise you are picking seeds out of your teeth all night!! It is an excellent, refreshing drink though - a must try!!!



6 lime wedges
3 tablespoons coarse sugar
2/3 cup lemonade concentrate
1 cup frozen unsweetened raspberries
2 cups ice cubes
1 package (16 ounces) frozen sweetened sliced strawberries, thawed slightly
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup tequila, optional

Directions: Using lime wedges, moisten the rims of six glasses. Set limes aside for garnish. Sprinkle coarse sugar on a plate; hold each glass upside down and dip rim into sugar. Set aside. Discard remaining sugar on plate. In a blender, combine the lemonade concentrate and raspberries; cover and process until smooth. Press mixture through a fine meshed sieve; discard seeds. Return raspberry mixture to blender; add ice, strawberries, blueberries, sugar and tequila if desired. Cover and process until smooth. Pour into prepared glasses. Garnish with reserved limes. Yield: 6 servings.
