After tweaking with several other margarita recipes, I finally found a way to get that 'real' margarita taste in a pitcher size for parties.

Pitcher Perfect Margaritas

tequila

triple sec

lime juice

kosher salt

lime wedges

Combine the tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, sweetened lime juice, and ice in a large pitcher; stir.


Pour the kosher salt onto a plate. Rub the rim of a glass with a lime wedge. Dip the rim of the glass into the salt; fill glass with margarita mixture; repeat for each serving.


Besides making Pina Coladas last night/this morning for my GF's b-day party I made margaritas using this recipe..... The first batch I made I did use the 2 cups of tequila and it was strong!!!! Too strong!!! From there on out I only used one cup and it was still pretty strong using that. All in all they were good. My guest called it top restaurant quality strength margaritas. I had to give only 4 stars because I have no idea why the recipe calls for 2 cups of tequila when it only needs one.

Quite good but fairly strong margarita. I put the mix in the blender & added a quart of frozen strawberries and a cup of ice & it was a great addition and calmed it down a bit. Thanks!

So good  I've made these a few times.  everyone loves them

Well named.  They make a pitcher, and they're perfect.  This is a great way to serve margaritas without manning the blender all night.  The fresh lime juice gives them the right balance of flavors to taste authentic and fresh.  I will use this recipe a lot! UPDATE:  I make simple syrup (1 part water to one part sugar, heated until combined, then cooled) instead of "sweetened lime juice", because I don't really know what that is!

Use only 1 cup of tequila! Yikes, I can't imagine them with 2! So good and easy to make! I am always an advocate for fresh squeezed limes, but I couldn't bring myself to pay $.89 a lime when I would need 20! So I used lime juice in a bottle and they still tasted SO much better than the bottled margarita mix! I will definitely use this recipe again and make sure to use fresh lime juice!

I really needed an idea of where to start with the measuring proration for a pitcher. This is a good base but was a little strong for my taste.

This is a basic margarita recipe and is very good. Using high quality triple sec (such as cointreau) will make it alot better. Anyone who says it is too strong is likely using cheap tequila! (Such as Jose Cuervo)

These are perfect for those hot summer afternoons where you want something refreshing and easy to put together!
