Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Tequila
- 1 cup Triple sec (or orange liqueur)
- 1 cup Freshly squeezed lime juice
- 0.5 cup Simple syrup
- 4 cups Ice
- 2 tablespoons Salt (optional, for rimming glasses)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (for garnish)
Instructions
1. If you would like to salt the rims of your glasses, pour the salt onto a small plate. Lightly wet the rims of your serving glasses with a lime wedge, then dip them into the salt to coat evenly. Set the glasses aside.
2. In a large pitcher, combine the tequila, triple sec, freshly squeezed lime juice, and simple syrup. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
3. Add the ice into the pitcher and gently stir to chill the margarita mixture.
4. Taste the margarita mix and adjust the sweetness or tartness, if desired, by adding more simple syrup or lime juice to your liking.
5. Pour the margaritas into the prepared glasses, either straining out the ice or serving over fresh ice, as preferred.
6. Garnish each glass with a lime wedge and serve immediately.
