Once you’ve tried a margarita with fresh lime juice straight from the lime, you’ll never go back to using margarita mix ever again.
All you need to make a classic and simple margarita is your favorite tequila (we like 1800 Silver Tequila), Orange Liqueur like Cointreau, Triple Sec or Grand Mariner (I like to use this local Florida orange liqueur), Agave Nectar and Limes. That’s it! Like I said before, all of these items are so easy to always have on hand, so easy you may find yourself making margaritas a little too often (if there is such a thing!)

5 oz Orange Liqueur
Pour all ingredients in a 40 oz pitcher, stir and store in the fridge until ready to serve. Stir again before serving and enjoy!
