Equipment

  • A juicer or citrus press
  • A measuring cup
  • A shaker or stirring stick
  • A strainer to remove pulp
  • An airtight container or bottle

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Fresh lime juice
  • 1 cup Water
  • ½ cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Juice the limes:
    Start by juicing the limes until you have about 1 cup of fresh lime juice. Make sure to strain the juice to remove seeds and pulp for a smooth mix.
  • Combine the ingredients:
    In a saucepan, add the lime juice, water, sugar, and a pinch of salt (if desired). Stir over medium heat until the sugar completely dissolves. No need to bring it to a boil—just enough to dissolve everything.
  • Cool down:
    Once the sugar has dissolved, remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
  • Store or use:
    Pour the margarita mix into a bottle or jar and refrigerate until ready to use. It can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
  • Serve:
    When ready, mix the margarita mix with your choice of tequila and triple sec for a classic margarita. Serve over ice with a salted rim for the ultimate cocktail experience!

Notes

  • Fresh lime juice is key: For the best flavor, use fresh lime juice. Bottled lime juice can taste flat and artificial compared to the bright, zesty flavor of freshly squeezed limes.
  • Adjust sweetness to your taste: The amount of sugar you add can be adjusted depending on how sweet you like your drinks. Start with 1/2 cup and taste test—you can always add a little more if needed.
  • Use high-quality tequila: The margarita mix is only as good as the tequila you use. Opt for a smooth blanco or reposado tequila for the best taste.
  • Chill your mix: Let the margarita mix cool completely before using it in drinks. Cold mix makes for a more refreshing cocktail experience.
  • Customize the flavor: Don’t be afraid to experiment! Add a splash of orange juice for a sweeter twist, or throw in a few mint leaves to give your margarita mix a fresh herbal note.
