Instructions
0 Make the margarita mix 1 Make the simple syrup. Combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar in a saucepan on the stovetop. Heat and stir occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved into the water. Remove from the heat, and let cool. 2 Juice the limes. Place a small fine mesh strainer on top of a liquid measuring cup (or bowl), and juice the limes over it. This way, you’ll catch any seeds or pulp that come out of the limes as you juice them. 3 Combine the ingredients in a pitcher or a large mason jar. Stir until combined, then refrigerate. How to make a single margarita 5 Measure 1 ½ oz. tequila, 1 oz. triple sec and 2 ½ oz. margarita mix into a cocktail shaker with ice. 6 Shake vigorously until very cold, then strain and pour into your prepared glass. 7 Garnish with a lime wedge, and enjoy immediately.

(2 cups) homemade margarita mix into the pitcher. 11 Stir, and refrigerate until cold. 12 Enjoy over ice!View original recipe
