Equipment
- Shaker
- Margarita Glass
Notes
- For a budget version, substitute one quality 100% agave tequila for all three — Jalisco-sourced for the most authentic flavor.
- To make a pitcher, multiply the lime mix and spirits by the number of servings.
- The lime mix keeps, sealed and refrigerated, for 3–4 days. Shake before using.
