BEST FRESH MARGARITAS BY THE PITCHER
This is a wonderful recipe for Margaritas on the Rocks by the pitcher-full! It is best to prepare the lime-lemon juice and zests mixture before hand to allow them to meld appropriately -- Cooking time reflects refrigeration time. I discovered this in Cook's Illustrated Magazine -- just in time for summer! I have altered the ingredients to suit my personal taste. Enjoy!

MARGARITAS BY THE PITCHER
A fantastic margarita without a mix. The better the alcohol, the smoother the taste (that goes without saying), but these are pretty fabulous with even fairly cheap tequila and triple sec! Serve over ice for margaritas on the rocks or make several hours ahead and freeze for amazing margarita slushies!

Tips:
- Use Fresh Limes: Fresh lime juice is essential for a great margarita. Bottled or store-bought lime juice simply won't do.
- Choose Your Tequila Wisely: Use a good quality tequila, preferably 100% agave. A reposado or añejo tequila will add a more complex flavor to your margarita.
- Sweeten to Your Taste: The amount of sweetener you add to your margarita is a matter of personal preference. Use simple syrup or agave nectar for a classic flavor, or try experimenting with other sweeteners like honey or fruit juice.
- Don't Forget the Salt: The salt rim on a margarita is a classic touch that adds a nice contrast to the sweet and sour flavors of the drink.
- Serve Chilled: Margaritas are best served chilled. You can chill the glasses in the freezer before serving, or you can make the margarita ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.
Conclusion:
With its perfect balance of sweet, sour, and salty flavors, a margarita is the perfect drink for any occasion. Whether you're enjoying a night out with friends or just relaxing at home, a margarita is sure to please. So next time you're looking for a refreshing and delicious drink, give this classic recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
