Mock Margaritas

One of my favorite websites to get fast, easy, healthy recipes from is called eatbetteramerica.com.  I signed up for their emails to receive periodic recipes.  They have been sending me a lot of neat summer recipes lately, including this one for mock margaritas.  There is no alcohol in them and since I am abstaining now I was super excited about it!  Margaritas are pretty much the only mixed drink I like.  I definitely prefer wine to other mixed drinks.  In case you can't read the recipe (it said something about it being a "member exclusive" recipe), here it is:

Lime wedges, if desired
Coarse salt, if desired
1 can (6 oz.) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed (3/4 cup)
1 can (6 oz.) frozen limeade concentrate, thawed (3/4 cup)
1/4 cup powdered sugar
3 cups crushed ice
2 cups club soda, chilled

1.  Rub rims of glasses with lime wedges; dip in salt to coat.
2.  In blender, place lemonade and limeade concentrates, powdered sugar and ice.  Cover; blend until slushy.  Add club soda; stir gently.  Pour mixture carefully into glasses.  Garnish with lime wedges.

Makes 10 servings (1/2 cup each).  1 serving is 80 calories.
