Batch Margaritas are the answer to hosting stress, because you get to actually enjoy your own party instead of playing bartender all night. Just four ingredients come together in one pitcher, so there is no fussing with individual shakers or measuring drink by drink.
Using fresh lime juice instead of a bottled mix gives every glass that bright, tart flavor a real margarita should have. It is endlessly adjustable too, since you can dial the agave up or down until it tastes just right to you. And because it makes eight cocktails in one go, it is the easiest way to keep everyone’s glass full at your next taco night, birthday, or backyard hangout.
Helpful Tips
- Use fresh lime juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice makes a noticeably brighter, more balanced margarita than bottled juice, so it is worth the extra few minutes of squeezing.
- Taste before you serve: Give the pitcher a taste after stirring and adjust the agave to your preference, since limes can vary quite a bit in tartness from batch to batch.
- Keep the ice separate until serving: Chilling the mixture with ice in the pitcher is fine, but adding fresh ice to each glass right before pouring helps keep the margaritas from getting watered down too quickly.
