Let me introduce you to The Cranberry Orange Limeade
Cranberry juice, Limeade, Orange Juice, Freshly Squeezed Limes, Tequila and Orange Liqueur
You’re welcome.
I meant to take more (read better) pictures, but I had invited my friend Mindy over to taste test this recipe and somehow, pictures didn’t get taken.
Go to the liquor store (or your liquor cabinet) mix this together and go lounge by the pool or do like I’m going to in a couple of weeks; mix it into a plastic jug and take it to the beach with you for your birthday camping trip.
Serve over ice or cold from the fridge in festive glasses and garnish with limes and/or oranges
Ingredients
- 2 (12 oz) cans of frozen limeade
- 1 C orange juice
- 1 C cranberry juice
- 2 C water
- 3 C tequila
- 2 C orange liqueur
- 1 C fresh lime juice - about 10 limes
Instructions
- Juice the limes
- Bring out your favorite summery pitcher
- Mix all the ingredients in the pitcher
- Chill or serve immediately over ice

Teri@thefreshmancook - Hi,
I can’t find the link on your mouthwatering monday page? Am I looking in the wrong place? All I am getting is the comments, and none of the linked pics or recipes. Thanks
Teri
Mary @ Giving Up on Perfect - Anything to help with this awful heat sounds good!! *sigh* I can’t wait for chili weather.
Rachel - Hey girlie, I hear you!!! I’m dying to re-make and photograph my Texican Hash, and Chili and Taco Soup and a few heavy casseroles, but it is NOT happening in this 100+ weather!
<3
Rachel - Teri, thanks for letting me know. This has happened 2 weeks in a row now. It appears linky code keeps deleting itself. I’m reinstalling it now and emailing the owner of the linky that I pay for
Thank you!
PrincessJenn - Makes me want to sit under a beach umbrella with a big pitcher of this stuff.
Rachel - We’re camping for my birthday (Aug 7th) again this year. ON THE BEACH for 4 days.
I’m making two jugs of this to go into the ice chest and share with friends. My feet in the sand, waves lapping at my toes, freckling up in the sun and sippin’ this summer drink
NOM
PrincessJenn - My birthday is on the 4th!
That sounds like heaven. WANT.

And though I put my carbonara up this week and osted it here, what are the odds that someone else would, too? Ohhhh pretty good in fact. Someone else posted theirs just before mine. Love it!
