Tequila Recipes
Margarita by the Pitcher
Ingredients
- 10 oz lime juice
- 14 oz Cointreau
- 3.5 oz Agave syrup or simple syrup
- 22 oz Tequila
- Garnish: Thin lime wheel
Instructions
In a Pitcher add the fresh lime juice and then the Cointreau. Taste—it should still be a bit tart. You can add a little more Cointreau but not much. Adjust the sweetness with a little agave syrup (two parts agave nectar, one part water) or simple syrup (one part sugar, one part water. Add the tequila and taste. The mixture should be intense. When pouring a drink, pour 3 ounces of the mix into a shaker and fill with ice. Shake, and strain into a margarita glass with a half-salted rim. Garnish with a thin wheel of lime. If you have a large shaker or a gallon jar with a screw-top you can shake a whole bunch of drinks at the same time.
