Total Time: Under 10 minutes
Makes: About 24 servings
Ingredients:
For the margarita:
• 8 cups cold water
• 1 liter 100 percent agave tequila, chilled
• 2 (12 ounce/340 g) cans frozen limeade, thawed in the refrigerator
• 4 ounces frozen concentrated orange juice (½ cup), thawed
• ¼ cup bottled lime juice
To serve:
• Ice (optional)
• 4 medium limes, each cut into 6 wedges
• Rich Simple Syrup (optional)
• Salt (optional)
Method:
For the margarita:
- Place all the ingredients in a large pitcher or container (at least 1-gallon capacity) and stir to evenly combine. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Stir before serving.
To serve:
- Serve the mixed margarita up or over ice in a chilled margarita glass with a lime wedge.
- Alternatively, to serve over ice with salt, fill a small, shallow dish with simple syrup and a second small, shallow dish with salt. Dip the rim of a glass in the simple syrup, then in the salt. (If you don’t have simple syrup, rub a lime wedge on the rim to moisten.) Add ice and top with the mixed margarita. Serve with a lime wedge.
