Ingredients
Instructions
- In a 4-quart container, combine the frozen lemonade concentrate, frozen limeade concentrate, powdered sugar, egg whites, and crushed ice.
- Mix well, cover, and freeze for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Spoon 2 cups of the slush mixture into a blender.
- Add 1 cup of carbonated water to the blender.
- Blend until frothy.
- To serve, rub the rim of a glass with a lime slice, dip in salt, and fill with the blended mixture.
Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter punch, adjust the powdered sugar to your taste. If you prefer a less frothy drink, blend the mixture less. You can substitute egg whites with aquafaba for a vegan option. This recipe can also be made with fresh lime juice instead of limeade concentrate for a more vibrant flavor. Consider serving with a side of chips and Gaspatcho Dip for a delightful snack.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the margarita punch in chilled glasses with salted rims for an authentic touch. Garnish with lime wedges for added flair. This punch is perfect for summer gatherings and pairs beautifully with Mexican recipes like Janice'S Taco Dip or Vegetarian recipes that feature fresh ingredients.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover slush mix in an airtight container in the freezer. It should keep well for about a week. To reheat, let it sit at room temperature until slightly softened, then stir before serving. If it becomes too solid, you can blend it again with a bit more carbonated water to regain its slushy texture.
