I just made a batch of margarita grapes. I soaked the grapes in a mixture of tequila and vodka for 24 hours, drained them, then rolled them in a mixture of sugar and lime zest. They are in the freezer now so my husband and I can enjoy them for dessert tonight.
Update - I will address some questions people have asked.
✨I used enough tequila and vodka to cover the grapes
✨I did not have enough of the orange flavored liqueur we use in margaritas in the house, so I decided to use some vodka instead
✨The grapes did absorb the alcohol without poking holes in them (there is already a hole where they were pulled off the stem)
✨You could taste the alcohol, but it was not overpowering
✨I used the zest of 2 limes
✨The grapes are meant to be eaten frozen
✨After they froze, I took the grapes off the parchment lined baking sheet and put them in an airtight container
