Home Canned Margarita Mix ~ How To Make Homemade Lemon or Lime Beverage Mix ~ Lemonade/Limeade

#margarita #margaritamix #canning
This is the perfect base for delicious summer cocktails, mocktails and refreshing beverages. Use lemons or limes or a combo of each to make this yummy syrup you'll use all summer long. Also perfect for fruit salad, salad dressing or marinades and desserts.
I used:
4 cups lime juice
3 cups sugar
2/3 cup agave nectar
Ladle hot syrup into hot pint jars, leaving 1/4" headspace. Wipe jar rim. Center lid and apply band to fingertip tight.
Process for 10 minutes in boiling water or steam canner, adjusting for altitude as follows:
1,001-3,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 5 minutes
3,001-6,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 10 minutes
6,001-8,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 15 minutes
8,001-10,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 20 minutes
Allow jars to rest undisturbed for 12-24 hours. Remove bands, check seals, wash and label jars. Store in a cool dark dry place.

Wow! Who knew?! This is such a fun idea! I’m in Southern Cal and we are no strangers to margaritas! I’m all in, thank you for this idea! ♥️☮️

[@therealdeal3338]

OMG just finished making the best darn MOJITOS using this syrup with the Queen Carol "twist" (agave )😛 we added syrup to club soda and white rum with mint leaves. It was the hit of after dinner cocktails. I used all four pints I had just canned. Definitely canning double batch tomorrow! THANKS CAROL for all your AWESOME recipes.

Limeade is great for summer too!

[@eileenjenkins6773]

Yea! Now I can make up all my lemon juice to make lemonade mix. This was quick from my last question. Thanks for the info about sugar substitute. I’m diabetic and want lemonade too. Love watching you.

[@darleneneumann5182]

What a great idea to have on hand for anything

[@bonnie5601]

Thanks Carol. This is great!

[@denisepineda1788]

Awesome. That would be great to have ready when we are outside in the pool. I cannot wait to try it!!

[@AcornHillHomestead]

It’s good to see you! You are looking well and happy. This looks yummy. I hope all is well! 😊

[@cydney3283]

Thanks for sharing!!

That's a fantastic idea. I would like to do lemon and lime. I love lemon juice for the summer. Thank you for thinking of this. I've tried the refrigerator salt process, but I'm not sure that I care for it. I'm thinking of frezzeing the juice till I have enough there so expensive.

[@AcornHillHomestead]

If you have one nearby, Mexican markets sell limes much cheaper. 😉

Loving this! Is using stevia safe for this recipe?

I’m not having a problem with it but someone else said they were. I’m sorry, I’m not sure what the problem is …

The link seems to only work using google chrome and I have no idea why

I tried the link you provided for the use of less sugar but it did not work. 🙂

Link to edu does not work.

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Sorry. It only seems to work with google chrome. I’ve tried to fix it to no avail. Check the community tab as I shared screenshots there.

Where did you find the agave?

Costco

I can't get the link to work either. I would like to know how to use it afterwards?

Idk what’s wrong with the link bc it works for me. But I read the uses of it directly from the website in the video
