Steps:
- In a 5-gallon sports cooler combine all ingredients except reserve some water. Stir or shake container to chill. If ice all melts add more. If too strong add water, but leave on the strong side because ice will continue to dilute over the next few hours. Makes about 2 1/2 gallons.
- Just like Party Margarita recipe, you should serve with lime wedges, a saucer of kosher salt, and 6-oz plastic cups like airlines use. Lime the rim, touch the rim to the salt, drop the lime into the cup, and dispense.

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 ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your margarita. If you can, use freshly squeezed lime juice, orange juice, and grapefruit juice.
- Don't skimp on the tequila. A good margarita should have a strong tequila flavor. Use a high-quality tequila that you enjoy drinking straight.
- Use the right proportions. The key to a good margarita is getting the proportions of tequila, lime juice, and orange juice just right. The classic recipe calls for equal parts of each ingredient, but you can adjust the proportions to suit your own taste.
- Shake it well. Shaking the margarita ingredients together helps to mix them thoroughly and creates a frothy texture. If you don't have a cocktail shaker, you can stir the ingredients together in a glass.
- Serve it cold. Margaritas are best served chilled. You can chill the glasses in the freezer before serving, or you can add a few ice cubes to each glass.
- Garnish it up. A margarita is not complete without a garnish. A lime wedge is the classic choice, but you can also use an orange slice, a grapefruit slice, or a sprig of mint.
Conclusion:
The margarita is a classic cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is refreshing, flavorful, and easy to make. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect margarita at home. So next time you are looking for a delicious and festive drink, give the margarita a try. You won't be disappointed!
