Ingredients
Scale
Batch Ingredients
- 3 cups Cointreau (can substitute with Grand Marnier or Triple Sec)
- 3 cups freshly squeezed lime juice
- 6 cups Reposado Tequila (100% pure de Agave)
- 1 cup Agave syrup (about 8 tablespoons or to taste, organic preferred)
- 1 bag ice
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: freshly squeeze the lime juice to ensure bright, fresh citrus flavor. Measure out the Reposado Tequila, Cointreau, and agave syrup accurately for balanced sweetness and alcohol strength.
- Mix the Margarita Base: In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lime juice, Reposado Tequila, Cointreau, and agave syrup. Stir well until the agave syrup is completely dissolved and the mixture is uniform.
- Add Ice: Fill the pitcher with a large bag of ice. Stir again to chill and dilute the mixture slightly, mellowing the flavors for a smooth taste experience.
- Serve: Pour the margarita over individual glasses filled with fresh ice. Optionally, garnish with lime wedges and salt the rims of glasses if desired.
Notes
- Using freshly squeezed lime juice is essential for authentic margarita flavor—avoid bottled lime juice.
- Adjust the amount of agave syrup according to your preferred sweetness level.
- For a slightly different flavor, add a splash of freshly squeezed orange juice to the mix.
- Ensure the tequila used is 100% pure de Agave for the best taste.
- Can be prepared in advance and refrigerated, but add ice just before serving to keep it fresh.
