Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Tequila
- 120 ml Cointreau or Triple Sec
- 180 ml Freshly squeezed lime juice
- 60 ml Simple syrup (optional, depending on taste)
- 3 cups Ice cubes
- 3 tbsp Coarse salt
- 3 pieces Lime wedges
- 120 ml Water (optional, to dilute if desired)
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing the glass rims: Spread the coarse salt on a small plate. Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of each glass to moisten it. Dip the rims into the salt, twisting gently to coat evenly. Set the glasses aside.
2. In a large pitcher, combine tequila, Cointreau (or Triple Sec), freshly squeezed lime juice, and simple syrup. Stir well to ensure all the liquids are evenly mixed.
3. Add ice cubes to the pitcher to chill the margarita mixture. Optionally, add water to the pitcher if you'd like to slightly dilute the drink for a milder flavor.
4. Stir the mixture again to ensure even cooling and a balanced taste throughout.
5. When ready to serve, fill the prepared glasses with additional ice cubes if desired and pour the margaritas over the ice.
6. Garnish each glass with a lime wedge on the rim for an extra touch of freshness.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your Margaritas En Jarra with friends!
