MARGARITAS FOR A CROWD

Provided by Food Network

Categories     beverage

Time 30m

Yield 20 to 24 old-fashioned margaritas

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 750-milliliter bottle silver tequila (use a high-quality, 100 percent agave tequila)
1 to 2 cups (1/3 to 2/3 of a 750-milliliter bottle) Cointreu or Triple Sec
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice, plus several tablespoons extra for rimming the glasses
Several tablespoons coarse kosher-type salt, for rimming the glasses
About 1 gallon ice cubes

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:

  • Choose the right tequila. A good quality blanco or reposado tequila is best for margaritas. Anejo tequilas can also be used, but they will give the margarita a more complex flavor.
  • Use fresh lime juice. Fresh lime juice is essential for a great margarita. Bottled lime juice can be used in a pinch, but it will not taste as good.
  • Use Cointreau or Grand Marnier. Cointreau and Grand Marnier are both orange liqueurs that can be used in margaritas. Cointreau is a drier liqueur, while Grand Marnier is sweeter. Use whichever one you prefer.
  • Don't skimp on the salt. The salt on the rim of the glass is a key part of the margarita experience. It helps to balance out the sweetness of the drink and adds a touch of savory flavor.
  • Serve the margarita cold. Margaritas are best served cold. If you are making a large batch of margaritas, you can chill them in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.

Conclusion:

The perfect margarita is a refreshing, delicious, and easy-to-make cocktail. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of know-how, you can make a gallon of margaritas that will be the hit of your next party. So next time you're looking for a fun and festive drink to serve, give the gallon margarita a try. You won't be disappointed!
