If you are more concerned about spending time on your patio this summer than spending time in the kitchen, this super-simple recipe I came across for Lime Sorbet Margaritas might be exactly what you are looking for since no blender is required. Even better - you can tailor this drink to your own preferences by changing the flavor of the sorbet, or replacing the tequila with rum, vodka, or your favorite liqueur. Lime Sorbet Margaritas
(recipe adapted from Real Simple Magazine)
1 lime, cut into 8 wedges
1/4 cup sugar
2 pints lime sorbet (though any flavor can be used)
1/2 cup tequila
Rub the lime wedges around the rims of 8 stemmed glasses. Place the sugar on a small plate. Turn each glass upside down and dip the rims in the sugar to coat.
Place 2 scoops of sorbet in each glass and pour 1 tablespoon of tequila over the top of each. Serve with a spoon.
Note: They also recommend having soda or seltzer available to replace the tequila so kids have have their own version of this drink as well.
