Ingredients

For 1 margarita:

3 tablespoons silver tequila 1 shot
3 tablespoons lime juice about 2 limes - freshly squeezed
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon agave nectar optional
3-4 ice cubes

Pitcher - Serves 8:

2 cups tequila
2 cups lime juice about 20 limes
1 ⅓ cup orange juice
3 tablespoons agave nectar

Instructions

To a cocktail shaker, add ice, tequila, lime juice, orange juice and agave nectar.
Shake and serve in a cocktail glass rimmed with sugar or salt.

Notes

For the best flavor, use freshly squeezed lime and orange juices. Otherwise, be sure to use naturally sweetened or no sugar added orange juice.
To prevent your cocktails from being watered down, don't add ice to the pitcher—it's best to add ice directly to each glass instead.
Use a jigger to measure the tequila. If you eyeball the amount of liquor, it's easy to add too much, leading to skinny margaritas that are too strong and/or high in calories.
