My big cook out is this Saturday and everyone is expecting my "famous" margarita's from last year.......well here's the problem....I used a bucket mix!!  (I know, cheap, bad, a whole lot of other adjectives, but they all LOVED it!!!) the problem is...............the mix is no longer available!!!  So I need a good recipe for Margarita's and Jello shooters...or anything else that I can make in a large batch with out going broke!

Screaming Purple Jesus

ingredients:

1 30 gallon plastic container

Various types of fruit cut into bite size pieces:

Ginger Ale

Grape juice

Vodka

Everclear

put the pieces of fruit into the plastic container and add the ginger ale grape juice vodka and everclear. If you want you can make it the night before and the drink mixture will get into the pieces of fruit 

I know this sounds weird but it's the BEST  "on the rocks" margarita, super easy,  and ALWAYS a HUGE HIT at parties...

1 12 oz. can of frozen limeade

fill 12 oz can w/ 7 up & add

1 Corona beer

1/2 to full  12 oz. can of tequila (I use 1/2 can and they are QUITE POTENT)

Mix all in pitcher to melt limeade and serve over ice

That recipe only makes a pitcher, but you could put it in a much larger container & it would still be pretty cheap!!!
