Steps:
- Just before serving, in a half gallon pitcher combine the tequila, the minimum amount of Cointreau or Triple Sec and the lime juice. Taste and add more orange liqueur if you think your margaritas need more sweet oranginess to balance the other flavors. Remember, you're tasting it warm and undiluted; when chilled and diluted, the flavors will be mellower and the lime's tartness will be more attractive.
- Pour several tablespoons of lime juice onto a small plate and several tablespoons coarse salt onto another. Have martini glasses at hand (chill them for an extra special touch).
- As your guests ask for their margaritas, invert a glass into the plate with the lime juice to moisten rim, then lightly dip into the plate with the salt. For each drink measure 2 ounces (1/4 cup) of the margarita mixture into a cocktail shaker. If you have a 2-ounce ladle that you can keep in the pitcher, measuring goes much faster. Add ice cubes (5 cubes for 1, 8 for 2, 10 for 3). Secure the lid and top and shake vigorously for 10 to 15 seconds. Strain into the salt crusted glasses and hand off to the lucky recipients

Tips:
- Use fresh cucumbers. This will give your margaritas the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cucumbers, you can use English cucumbers, but be sure to peel them first.
- Chill your ingredients. This will help your margaritas get extra cold and refreshing.
- Use a good quality tequila. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your margaritas. Look for a tequila that is 100% agave and has a smooth, clean taste.
- Don't over-muddle the cucumbers. You just want to release their flavor, not turn them into mush.
- Add ice to taste. Some people like their margaritas with a lot of ice, while others prefer them less icy. Add ice to your liking and adjust the amount of liquid ingredients accordingly.
- Garnish your margaritas with a cucumber slice or a lime wedge. This will add a festive touch and make your drinks look even more inviting.
