How to Make a Margarita With Wine (7 Steps)
A margarita is a classic cocktail made with tequila, lime juice and triple sec. Tequila is a potent drink with a strong taste that some people may not like. Tone down a margarita by replacing the tequila with white wine, thus creating an equally refreshing drink. This wine margarita recipe complements a homemade Mexican meal and serves four people.
Things You'll Need
- Blender
- Measuring cup
- 6 oz. white wine
- 4 oz. triple sec liqueur
- Sharp knife
- Cutting board
- 10 limes
- 2 to 3 cups ice cubes
- Salt
- 4 martini or wine glasses
Instructions
-
Pour 6 oz. white wine into a blender. Dry white wines such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio are ideal for margarita recipes.
-
Add 4 oz. triple sec liqueur to the blender. You can use traditional orange-flavored liqueur or a Cointreau, based on your tastes.
-
Slice 10 limes in half and squeeze the juice into the blender. Use your free hand as a sieve to help keep seeds out of the drinks.
-
Fill the rest of the blender with ice cubes. You will probably use 2 to 3 cups of ice.
-
Secure the cover on the blender tightly. Pulse the blender a few times until the ice begins to break up. Then run the blender for 20 to 30 seconds at a time until the margarita is the consistency of slush.
-
Moisten the tops of four martini or wine glasses with water and dip them into a dish of salt.
-
Pour the wine margaritas into the glasses and enjoy. If you have any limes left over, you can garnish the drink with a lime wedge.
