THE PERFECT MARGARITA
Mastering the margarita requires a certain amount of practice, but once you dial-in your perfect ratio, it's a really easy cocktail to replicate. The classic recipe is 3 parts tequila, 2 parts triple sec, and 1 part freshly squeezed lime juice, and you should probably start off pretty close to that, but my personal favorite proportions are 4-3-2.

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

PARTY MARGARITAS
A large quantity of Margaritas suitable for a cooler at a party. I tried different ratios and this one tasted closest to a "classic" Margarita. Uses whole quantities so no leftover ingredients. (Save an empty tequila bottle for any remaining Margarita and keep in refrigerator for instant cocktails.)

Steps:
- In a 5 gallon sports drink cooler dump in the tequila, triple sec and limeade. Add a quart of water and the ice. Mix or close cooler and shake until chilled. There should still be ice left. Taste. Add remaining water to taste. The mixture should come approximately to the 3 gallon line. Leave a little strong because over the next few hours more ice will melt.

- Squeeze lime wedge around rim of cup. Touch cup rim to salt. Drop lime in glass. Dispense Margarita.

Tips:
- Consider making simple syrup the night before so it has time to cool in the fridge. This will also allow the flavors to meld together better.
- If you want to get creative, you can infuse the simple syrup with different flavors such as herbs, fruits, or spices.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor. Bottled lime juice can be used in a pinch, but it won't taste as good.
- If you don't have Cointreau , you can substitute another orange liqueur, such as Grand Marnier or Triple Sec.
- For a sweeter margarita, add more simple syrup to taste.
- Garnish your margaritas with lime wedges and salt for a classic touch.
Conclusion:
Making a party-sized margarita is easy and fun, and it's a great way to serve a crowd. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and refreshing cocktail that everyone will love.
