MARGARITAS BY THE PITCHER



Margaritas by the Pitcher image

A fantastic margarita without a mix. The better the alcohol, the smoother the taste (that goes without saying), but these are pretty fabulous with even fairly cheap tequila and triple sec! Serve over ice for margaritas on the rocks or make several hours ahead and freeze for amazing margarita slushies!

THE PERFECT MARGARITA



The Perfect Margarita image

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.
