Someone in the article asked the real question. How are we supposed to make Margaritas? The MinuteMaid frozen mixers are the only ones that don't use shelf stabilizers and taste decent.

1 shot orange liquor (I like patron citronage)
2 shot tequila
Juice 1/2 lime
1-2 shots simple syrup (1 to 1 sugar and water)
Shake vigorously with ice, strain and enjoy!
:3
That works for a single servings, not so much for party pitchers.
What in there cannot be easily scaled up tho? Aside from the liquor its just lime juice and sugar!
Kinda true, I mean depending on how many, I’ve made maybe… 4 at once. But yeah if you need like 10+…. I hope you have a big shaker lmao.
I guess there is always the store brand frozen concentrated unless that’s going away too…
Margaritas are really fucking easy to make. And fresh lime tastes better anyway.
2 oz (60 ml) Tequila Blanco
0.5 oz (15 ml) Cointreau or Grand Marnier or some other orange liqueur
1 oz (30 ml) lime juice
0.5 oz (15 ml) Agave syrup
Shake in a shaker or blend in a blender with ice.
I've never used or seen a bar or restaurant use anything other than the Jose Cuervo mix.
My Grandma makes this great drink called a bourbon slush, which is basically orange juice concentrate plus bourbon.
The younger generations are gonna miss out on so much
Oh man, I don't think I've ran into anyone else that knew what bourbon slush is. I had a friend growing up and it was a staple of their big family gatherings. I actually had no idea how they made it until now, but I would always get a couple of tubs to take home with me. Highlight of the year during my college years.
Ha! noice. I would always eat it with a spoon
It's also popular here in Wisconsin, but our version typically uses brandy. I made a bunch for my wedding. I hate to think that would be the last time!
Make with the recipe already!
50% bourbon, 50% slush
So one can of stuff = two drinks?
that's like 12 ounces of bourbon...
Also, you don't really drink it... You definitely eat it with a spoon.
Also also, I definitely don't have a recipe for it... I literally just learned from the commenter above me that it was OJ concentrate and booze... lol
i forgot the stuff existed but at the same time it's surprising to see such a longstanding product go
They just don’t want Trading Places to be possible again
it’ll be pork bellies in the remake
Fuck Florida.
Fuck Florida!
One big reason I haven’t bought frozen concentrate juice in years: sugar.
But second biggest reason: price. Last I checked, the frozen stuff was nearly the same price as the unfrozen.
It used to be the much cheaper alternative. I’m not sure what happened.
I guess they dont want the WIC money
Well fuck. I'm highly reliant on the lemonade to mix with iced green tea.
That’s to stop Antifa from making napalm
I was thinking that.
More money for the other companies staying in the frozen juice concentrate market.
