Effortless Entertaining: A Refreshing Twist on Margaritas
When it comes to hosting a gathering, simplicity is key. That’s why we’ve crafted a recipe for a crowd-pleasing margarita that’s quick, easy, and packed with flavor.
The Perfect Blend
Forget store-bought mixes and hello to a refreshing blend of frozen limeade, concentrated orange juice, and bottled lime juice. This trifecta comes together in just a few minutes, yielding a taste that’s far superior to any bottled mix.
Before You Begin
Take a few minutes to prepare the Rich Simple Syrup, a crucial component of this recipe. Trust us, it’s worth the extra effort.
Gather Your Ingredients
For the margarita:
- 8 cups cold water
- 1 liter 100 percent agave tequila, chilled
- 2 (12-ounce) cans frozen limeade, thawed in the refrigerator
- 4 ounces frozen concentrated orange juice (1/2 cup), thawed
- 1/4 cup bottled lime juice
To serve:
- Ice (optional)
- 4 medium limes, each cut into 6 wedges
- Rich Simple Syrup (optional)
- Salt (optional)
Mix and Serve
Combine all the ingredients in a large pitcher or container (at least 1-gallon capacity) and stir until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Stir before serving.
Customize to Your Taste
Serve the mixed margarita up or over ice in a chilled margarita glass with a lime wedge. For a salt-rimmed glass, fill a small dish with simple syrup and another with salt. Dip the rim of the glass in the simple syrup, then in the salt. Add ice and top with the mixed margarita. Serve with a lime wedge.
