Pitcher Margarita

 

This is a great party drink that you can make ahead of time and serve in a pitcher. This is a classic margarita and a real crowd pleaser. I sometimes add a little club soda to each glass for a little fizz.

Ingredients


1 ½ cups tequila, silver or reposado
1 ½ cups Cointreau or triple sec
1 ¼ cups lime juice, 6-8 limes
¾ cup simple syrup
Salt for the rim, optional
1 Lime sliced into wedges, for garnish

Instructions

Fill the pitcher:Measure and pour the tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, and simple syrup into a pitcher. Add a small handful of ice and mix to come. Refrigerate.

Serve:

For salted glasses, prepare them by rubbing a lime wedge along the rim. Dip each glass in tequila salt and fill with fresh ice.
Give the margarita inside the pitcher a stir and pour over the prepared glasses. Garnish with a wedge of lime.
