3-2-1 Pitcher Margaritas

By

  • 1

Ingredients

  • Prep time: 10 minutes
  • 3 cups blanco tequila
  • 2 cups orange liqueur, such as Cointreau or Triple Sec
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 8 limes)
  • Ice
  • 3 medium limes, thinly sliced

Preparation

Step 1

Place the tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and ice in a large pitcher, and stir to combine. Top with the lime slices. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow for some of the ice to melt and mellow the margaritas.

Pour into glasses, adding more ice from the pitcher to each glass as needed. Scoop a couple of lime slices into each glass when serving.

Recipe Notes:
Make ahead: The pitcher can be made, without the ice and sliced limes, up to 1 day ahead. Cover and store in the refrigerator and add the ice and limes before serving.

Changing the tart or sweet levels: If you prefer sweeter margaritas, you can add a bit of simple syrup to taste. Or, if your prefer more tart margaritas, you can add more lime juice.
