Classic Pitcher Margaritas

Margaritas for a crowd are always a good idea! Whether it’s Cinco de Mayo or not, a classic margarita recipe is always smart to have up your sleeve – Especially as the temperatures start rising and entertaining outside ramps up!

I think the recipe for a winning marg every time is just good fresh ingredients! Always use fresh lime juice if you want to make it proper. I will be a little upset with you if you go for the pre made margarita mix wearing the sombrero hat, as cute as it is.

I will however not be upset if you get your hands on one of these tequila bombs that makes a cocktail right there in your glass!! It’s like a bath bomb but even more glorious!

Whether you’re making a single marg for yourself or a pitcher for a crowd, if you stick with these ingredients you will have a perfect margarita every time! I definitely recommend a citrus juicer if you don’t have one since you’re squeezing a lot of limes for this recipe. I just have a cheap hand held one that you can get pretty much at any grocery or kitchen store and it works great!
