1. Mix Ingredients in Pitcher
In your favorite pitcher, combine the tequila, orange liqueur, and freshly squeezed lime juice. Add water to ensure a smooth blend of flavors. Stir the mixture well.
2. Chill the Margarita
Place the pitcher in the refrigerator to chill. Wait until the mixture cools sufficiently and takes on a slightly viscous look, indicating it's ready to serve.
3. Prepare the Glasses
Run a lime wedge around the rim of each glass and dip the rims in salt to coat. Fill the glasses with ice in preparation for the margarita.
4. Serve the Margarita
Pour the chilled margarita mixture over the ice in each glass. Serve immediately.
Opt for a good quality tequila, preferably 100% agave, silver or blanco for a bright and clean flavor profile that complements the classic margarita.
Always use freshly squeezed lime juice and strain it to avoid pulp or seeds for a smooth drink.
Use high-quality orange liqueur, like Cointreau or Grand Marnier, and adjust with simple syrup if needed.
Use larger ice cubes to chill the drink without diluting it too quickly and shake for about 15-20 seconds.
Enhance your glass with a salt rim mixed with a bit of lime zest for an aromatic twist.
