Recipe Notes!
- To Make A Pitcher Of Margaritas (16 servings): Mix tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and tons of ice in a big pitcher until appropriately blended. Add sweetener to taste, if needed, until the margaritas get to your desired level of sweetness. Serve over ice, decorating each glass with an extra lime slice on the side if preferred.
- Please make sure that one serving is 3.5 ounces (a little less than 1/2 cup) and is quite strong, delivering this traditional margarita cocktail differently from the giant mugs of diluted margaritas served in many cafes. Selecting a quality liquor is important for a superior margarita.
- Tequila is the primary component and affordable, low-quality tequila will only bring the drink down. Choose a medium to high-end Blanco or reposado tequila and a triple sec, such as Cointreau, for making this drink delicious.
- Moreover, you’ll get a better margarita with fresh lime juice. The moderate lime yields about 1 ounce of liquid, which is almost ideal for this recipe.
