Ingredients
- 30 oz tequila (reposado or silver are my faves) (approximately 3.75 cups)
- 20 oz orange liqueur (Cointreau is my fave) (approximately 2.5 cups)
- 15 oz fresh lime juice (a little bit less than 2 cups)
- 5 oz simple syrup (approximately 1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp)
- lime slices/wedges
- salt for rimming glasses
Instructions
- In a large pitcher, combine tequila, orange liqueur, and fresh lime juice. Stir in simple syrup.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve. Rim glasses with a bit of lime juice and salt if desired. Garnish with lime wheel.
- Fill cocktail shaker 2/3 of the way full of ice. Pour in enough margarita mix to cover the ice, put the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for 10 seconds or so.
- Pour into prepared glasses. Repeat, using fresh ice after a few uses, for remaining servings.
- Drop a lime wedge or slice of lime in each glass if desired.
Notes
- My preferred tequilas are Patron Reposado or Silver, they're smooth and make for a great margarita!
- Grand Marnier or triple sec will work as the orange liqueur as well.
- Simple syrup amount is completely up to you.
- Recipe can be made using liquid stevia for a reduced sugar alternative. Exact amount needed will vary.
