The
classic Margarita is always a good choice. Its proven combination of tequila, fresh lime juice and orange liqueur has been sating thirsts since the middle of the 20th century. So, it’s only natural that one may wish to perform the noble task of making a bunch of Margaritas at once. Because as common wisdom
dictates, Margaritas by the Pitcher are a surefire way to please a crowd. Making a pitcher of Margaritas is not more difficult than making a single Margarita. The chief difference is that you will use a larger quantity of each ingredient. Once your pitcher is full, you can dole out glasses to your guests, which saves you time and keeps them happy. This recipe comes from bartending legend Dale DeGroff. He adds agave syrup to the
holy trinity of tequila, lime juice and Cointreau for a dash of sweetness and scales up the ratios into a large batch that fits snugly into a 52-ounce pitcher. This recipe serves 12 people, but you can tweak the portions as needed and employ a larger pitcher to accommodate more drinks. (Hey, the people like refills.) Once the batch is complete, shake portions of the liquid with ice, strain into glasses and garnish each with a lime wheel to give the drinks a
personal touch. 14 ounces Cointreau 10 ounces lime juice, freshly squeezed 3
1/2 ounces agave syrup or simple syrup 22 ounces tequila Garnish:
12 lime wheels

Most helpful positive reviewRating: 4 stars 03/21/2010 Besides making Pina Coladas last night/this morning for my GF's b-day party, I made margaritas using this recipe..... The first batch I made, I did use the 2 cups of tequila and it was strong!!!! Too strong!!! From there on out, I only used one cup and it was still pretty strong using that. All in all, they were good. My guest called it top restaurant quality strength margaritas. I had to give only 4 stars because I have no idea why the recipe calls for 2 cups of tequila when it only needs one. Read More Most helpful critical reviewRating: 2 stars 05/08/2010 A bit too strong.

I put the mix in the blender & added a quart of frozen strawberries and a cup of ice & it was a great addition and calmed it down a bit. Thanks! Rating: 5 stars 10/12/2008 So good I've made these a few times. everyone loves them Rating: 5 stars 09/07/2009 Well named. They make a pitcher, and they're perfect. This is a great way to serve margaritas without manning the blender all night. The fresh lime juice gives them the right balance of flavors to taste authentic and fresh. I will use this recipe a lot! UPDATE: I make simple syrup (1 part water to one part sugar, heated until combined, then cooled) instead of "sweetened lime juice", because I don't really know what that is! Rating: 4 stars 03/06/2011 Use only 1 cup of tequila! Yikes, I can't imagine them with 2! So good and easy to make! I am always an advocate for fresh squeezed limes, but I couldn't bring myself to pay $.89 a lime when I would need 20! So I used lime juice in a bottle and they still tasted SO much better than the bottled margarita mix! I will definitely use this recipe again and make sure to use fresh lime juice! Rating: 4 stars 05/05/2011 This is a basic margarita recipe and is very good. Using high quality triple sec (such as cointreau) will make it alot better. Anyone who says it is too strong is likely using cheap tequila! (Such as Jose Cuervo) Rating: 4 stars 04/18/2009 I really needed an idea of where to start with the measuring proration for a pitcher. This is a good base, but was a little strong for my taste. Rating: 4 stars 07/17/2009 Yum. I may add some cointreau next time. Rating: 2 stars 05/08/2010 A bit too strong. Rating: 4 stars 05/02/2012 Great for parties, but a bit on the strong side! Use good quality tequila or you're gonna be in for a headache... After cutting back on the tequila and using crushed ice this was pretty good. Rating: 5 stars 05/27/2010 this was awesome! Rating: 5 stars 11/20/2016 Excellent!!! For those who didn't know, the sweetened lime juice is by Rose's Find it in the liquor aisle with tonic and club soda. This margarita was tart and tasty. I made a half batch and used the full cup of tequila. Perfect!!!! Rating: 5 stars 02/28/2010 Easy to make and everybody loved them! Rating: 5 stars 06/18/2011 Great recipe! I did tweak it a little bit and used 2 cups of sweet and sour and one squeezed lime instead of the lime juice. They were a huge hit :) Rating: 4 stars 11/01/2014 Very good for margaritas on the rocks. Rating: 5 stars 01/30/2014 So strong but so good! Rating: 5 stars 07/06/2019 Delicious! I had made my own simple syrup before finding this recipe, so replaced the sweetened lime juice with it. I had to adjust the lime juice amount a bit because of this. Next time I want to follow this recipe exactly! Rating: 4 stars 05/08/2017 Taste just like at the bar. Rating: 5 stars 12/10/2016 This drink was the hit of the party!! Rating: 5 stars 11/20/2018 The guests kept asking for refills, so that says it all! We split using Triple Sec and Cointreau - only change. Rating: 5 stars 09/17/2019 I made this just as the recipe calls for and have since made several times. Super easy! Rating: 5 stars 09/16/2022 I thought this was the best margarita I have made at home. However, it tasted delicious, like not too much alcohol but the effects of one 16 oz glass with ice was pretty strong. Rating: 4 stars 05/13/2020 Easy to make but very strong and good Rating: 5 stars 07/24/2022 Best recipe ever!!!! 👍😁 Rating: 5 stars 08/11/2022 Strong but delicious! A good blend and the fresh limes make a difference in drink quality. Will make again soon! Rating: 5 stars 01/18/2018 I agree with many of the reviewers about using only one cup of tequila (I made the half used bottle of tequila available for anyone who wanted to add a bit more tequila to their drink -- only one person did). With one cup tequila the drink was ...... perfect! Rating: 5 stars 05/03/2021 It’s likely those that are complaining it tastes too strong of tequila are probably using cheap tequila (like Jose Cuervo) which will burn your throat and taste like lighter fluid going down. Good tequila should be 100% agave so if you see that on the bottle then you are good to go. Tequila only needs to be 51% agave to be called tequila so the cheap still will fill the rest of tequila with a “mixto” aka cheap alcohol, which is why you feel like garbage the next day after taking shots of Cuervo. You should be able to get a decent bottle for around $25-$30. The only thing I did different to this recipe was use Cointreau instead of Triple Sec and it tasted great!
Rating: 5 stars 09/21/2016 I used this recipe to make several margaritas for a Taste of Mexico fod event for over 100 people. The pitchers were empty within 1 hour and people praised them! Rating: 3 stars 08/18/2022 More like juice is def needed, and I also added a 1/4 cup of simple syrup. Definitely sweetens it a bit more. Rating: 5 stars 01/08/2019 All five women that shared this pitcher of margaritas were very pleased. I course it's important to get good tequila! I hope to have an occasion to make these again soon! Rating: 5 stars 05/05/2020 I hear people say its strong. But I just made it for later to put in the fridge. I tasted a sample and its tastes perfect. I like mine just like this. And is all for me.
