INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Just before serving, in a half gallon pitcher combine the tequila, the
minimum amount of Cointreau or Triple Sec and the lime juice. Taste and add
more orange liqueur if you think your margaritas need more sweet oranginess
to balance the other flavors. Remember, you're tasting it warm and
undiluted; when chilled and diluted, the flavors will be mellower and the
lime's tartness will be more attractive.
Pour several tablespoons of lime juice onto a small plate and several
tablespoons coarse salt onto another. Have martini glasses at hand (chill
them for an extra special touch).
As your guests ask for their margaritas, invert a glass into the plate with
the lime juice to moisten rim, then lightly dip into the plate with the
slat. For each drink measure 2 ounces (1/4 cup) of the margarita mixture
into a cocktail shaker. If you have a 2-ounce ladle that you can keep in
the pitcher, measuring goes much faster. Add ice cubes (5 cubes for 1, 8
for 2, 10 for 3). Secure the lid and top and shake vigorously for 10 to 15
seconds. Strain into the salt crusted glasses and hand off to the lucky
recipients.
Yield: 20 to 24 old-fashioned margaritas.
