The Red Cactus Margarita is a twist on the classic margarita, made with raspberry-cranberry juice and whole frozen raspberries. This drink is refreshing and perfect for summertime parties and gatherings. It can be enjoyed with or without alcohol, making it a versatile beverage option. The use of frozen fruit and ice helps to keep the drink cold without the need for added ice, which can dilute the flavor. The sugar rim adds a touch of sweetness and a fun pop of color to the drink.

Instructions

1.	In a blender, add raspberry-cranberry frozen juice concentrate, whole frozen raspberries and frozen limeade concentrate.
2.	Pour triple sec and tequila into the blender.
3.	Add enough ice to make slushy and blend until smooth.
4.	Wet the rims of serving glasses with lime juice and dip in sugar.
5.	Pour the margarita into the glasses and garnish with lime slices.
