Margarita, Anyone?

November 9, 2010 by ~The South Dakota Cowgirl~ 2 Comments

I don’t know if this recipe has been published before- it was shared with me by a friend of mine many years ago, and I love it. I make it all the time. But be warned. It is potent- because you can’t have just one AND it packs a punch!

What you’ll need:

1 can of frozen Limeade concentrate (save the can!)
1 can of tequila of your choice
1 12 oz corona beer – or other Mexican light beer of your choosing (Bud light does not do well, but works in a pinch!)
1 12oz can of diet sprite, sprite, or tonic water (I prefer sprite zero- so it doesn’t get too sweet).
Salt and wedges of limes for garnish.

Combine all ingredients listed above in a 2 quart pitcher, stir well and serve on the rocks, with salt and lime!

Easy, refreshing and potent. It doesn’t get better than that!

I have never made these frozen, because where I grew up, it was so hot that if you had a frozen rita it was slush before you finished it! I can assume that these would be good if you desired to blend them. But you damage the spirit of the alcohol when you do that. And that, in my opinion is just wrong!

About ~The South Dakota Cowgirl~

Jenn Zeller is the creative mind and boss lady behind The South Dakota Cowgirl. She is an aspiring horsewoman, photographer, brilliant social media strategist and lover of all things western.

After a brief career in the investment world to support her horse habit (and satisfy her mother, who told her she had to have a “real” job after graduating college), she finally took the leap and stepped away from a regular income; trading the business suit once and for all for cowgirl boots, a hat, and jeans. She has not looked back.

When Jenn first moved to The DX Ranch on the South Dakota plains, she never imagined she’d find herself behind a camera lens capturing an authentic perspective of ranching, and sharing it with others. Jenn has always been called to artistry, and uses music, writing, images, home improvement, and her first true love of horses to express her ranching passion.

Horses are the constant thread and much of her work centers around using her unique style of writing to share her horsemanship journey with others in publications such as CavvySavvy, the AQHA Ranching Blog, the West River Eagle, the family ranch website, and her own website.

Using photography to illustrate her stories has created other opportunities -- Jenn’s brand “The South Dakota Cowgirl” has grown to the level of social media “Influencer”. This notoriety has led to work with Duluth Trading Company, Budweiser, Wyoming Tourism, Vice, Circle Z Ranch and Art of the Cowgirl, to name a few. She also serves as a brand ambassador for Woodchuck USA, Arenus Equine Health, Triple Crown Feed and Just Strong fitness apparel. Her photography has been featured by Instagram, Apple, TIME Magazine, The Huffington Post, and Oprah Magazine. Jenn’s work has been published internationally, has been seen in several books and has graced the covers of several magazines.

Jenn became a social media influencer by accident when she started to explore Instagram as a way to share her life on the ranch with folks that don’t get to experience it. It’s grown into an incredible platform that she uses to empower women, create an environment for self improvement and share life on the ranch.

When she’s not working, she loves to drink coffee, play with her naughty border collie named Copper, start ranch colts, and run about the country chasing cans. Her mother still thinks she doesn’t have a “real” job.
