Margarita Mix

Method
Margarita Mix
- 1
Juice limes
Juice fresh limes until you have 6 fl oz of lime juice (about 6-8 medium limes). Strain to remove pulp and seeds.
- 2
Measure and combine spirits
Measure 10 fl oz Lunazul Blanco Tequila and 4 fl oz triple sec. Pour both into a large measuring pitcher or mixing jug.
- 3
Sweeten and dilute
Add 2 fl oz simple syrup (or agave nectar) to the jug, then add the 6 fl oz fresh lime juice. Add 6 fl oz cold water to adjust dilution so the finished volume fits the 32 oz jug and tastes balanced.
- 4
Chill the mixture
Stir the mixture thoroughly for 20–30 seconds until the sweetener is fully incorporated. Taste and adjust: add an extra 0.5–1 fl oz simple syrup if you prefer sweeter, or 0.5 fl oz water if too strong.
Garnish & Serving

Prepare the jug
If rimming the glasses or the jug mouth, pour the coarse salt onto a small plate. Rub a lime wedge around the rims, then dip rims into the salt. Fill the 32 oz serving jug about three-quarters full with lots of ice (roughly 32 oz by volume).

Assemble the margarita
Pour the chilled margarita mix over the ice in the jug. Stir gently to combine with the melting ice and ensure even chilling.
- 7
Garnish and serve
Float 4–6 lime wheels or tuck wedges into the jug. Serve immediately in salt-rimmed glasses over additional ice if desired. Provide a spoon or stirrer so guests can mix as ice melts.

Storage
If not serving immediately, keep the mix chilled in the refrigerator (without ice) for up to 24 hours. Add ice just before serving.
