RASPBERRY ’RITAS
Makes six servings
16
ounces (450 g) chilled fresh or frozen, thawed raspberries
12
ounces (340 g) frozen limeade, thawed
3
ounces (85 g) chilled Triple Sec
8
ounces (227 g) chilled tequila
thin lime slices for garnish
Combine raspberries and limeade in a blender or food processor fitted
with the metal “s” blade. Process until smooth. Press through a fine
mesh strainer to remove seeds. Turn machine on. Pour the juice mixture
into the freezer bowl and mix until thickened, about 20 to 25 minutes
(mixture should be very thick as liquors will thin it out). Add chilled
Triple Sec and tequila during the last 2 to 3 minutes of mixing.
Serve immediately in stemmed glasses with straws, or freeze until
ready to serve. Garnish with a thin slice of lime.
For Peachy ’Ritas
, substitute sliced peaches for the raspberries.
