Ingredients for mint margarita:
Can I make this mint margarita ahead of time?
- You can prepare the mint mixture ahead of time. It stays fresh in refrigerator in a sealed jar up to 3 days. Just add 7up/Sprite just before serving and give it a good mix.
- The mint mixture can also be stored in the freezer up to two months in ice cube tray to be enjoyed later. When you are ready to serve, add the frozen mint cubes in a glass, pour 7up/Sprite over them, stir everything well, garnish with lime slices and mint and your thirst quencher is ready. There is no need to add ice cubes if you are using frozen mint cubes.
Recipe Notes and Tips:
- I used my blender for this recipe but you can also use hand mixer for blending.
- Scale this recipe up to make a larger batch.
- You can customize it by adding some chili or chaat masala to make a spicy margarita.
- You can also replace 7up/sprite with sparkling water and use stevia or maple syrup as a sweetener.
- Soaked basil or chia seeds can also be added for extra goodness.
Equipment, tools or ingredients I used:
- This kitchen machine is my absolute favourite.
- The above mentioned machine already has a citrus squeezer but this lemon squeezer is quite handy.
- Use ice cube tray to freeze the concentrate of this lemonade for later use.
- Use sterilized glass bottle if you are saving the mint mixture in refrigerator.
