The classic Margarita - photo by Christy Thompson

It’s always a great day for a cocktail. And even with great premium liquor, when it comes right down to it, mixing up a fantastic cocktail is a pretty inexpensive indulgence. Almost therapeutic, even, putting together that one perfect drink.

That said, sometimes what you need is a quick, cheap and easy recipe that is easy to make for a group. If you’re having a crowd over for your Cinco de Mayo party, who has time to stand around with a shaker? Never fear, you can still make a good margarita that will stand out from the blended slushy-look-alike at the local Mexican chain restaurant.

The Easy Everyday Margarita

• 1 can frozen limeade
• 1 can tequila
• 1.5 oz triple sec
• 3 1/3 cans cold water
• splash of fresh lime juice

Whisk all ingredients in a pitcher, and serve over ice in a cocktail or margarita glass. For frozen margaritas, substitute ice for the cold water and combine in a blender.
