Having a party on Saturday and I was going to make up a batch of margaritas, using one of those pre-packaged "just add tequila and freeze overnight" containers. Only problem is, the mix has a "best before" date of May 4. My wife refuses to serve it (I'm not so fussy), so here's my question:

I have a package of lemon-lime Kool-Aid. If I make up the Kool-Aid as per the instructions, dump it in the container with the tequila and freeze it overnight, will I end up with something roughly approximating a margarita?

Tomorrow's a holiday here (Canada Day), so I can't go out and buy more stuff. I was hoping to get this in the freezer tonight (or tomorrow at the latest), so any timely advice would be most appreciated!

Got any OJ and grenadine?

Not real sure the Kool-Aid thing will work...my advice is tell the wife you did the Kool-Aid thing and use the other stuff. Can't imagine what's in the pre-packaged mix that freezing and tequila won't over-ride. Just a part-time bartenders opinion...

The lemon-lime Kool-Aid worked just fine. It froze pretty solid so I needed to let it thaw a little bit, and then I found it a little too sweet, so I added a bit of 7-Up to it. Turned out pretty good.
