RED CACTUS

A south-of-the-border sipper also known as a "Margarita", this delicious drink is transformed by the color and flavor of red raspberry.

Serves 4 - 6

INGREDIENTS
1 1/4 cups (10 fl. oz.) raspberry-cranberry juice frozen concentrate
3 cups (about 12 oz. wt.) whole frozen raspberries
3/4 cup (6 fl. oz.) limeade frozen concentrate
1/2 cup (4 fl. oz.) Triple Sec orange liqueur
3/4 cup (6 fl. oz.) Tequila, gold
About 4 cups crushed ice - enough to make slushy
1 lime, sliced
sugar


DIRECTIONS
Combine all but last two ingredients in blender and blend until slushy, adding more ice if necessary.

To prepare glasses, moisten rims with lime slice and dip in plate of sugar.

Fill glasses and garnish with lime wheel slices.

For non-alcoholic version, omit Tequila and replace Triple Sec with reconstituted orange juice
