Preparation
Step 1
Make the simple syrup by boiling water and stirring in an equal measurement of sugar until dissolved (i.e. one cup water + one cup sugar).
Step 2
Stir the simple syrup, lime juice, and tequila together.
Step 3
Cut a lime into wedges and use one wedge to wet the rim of the glass. Place salt in a dish and tip the glass upside down into the salt so it sticks to the wet rim.
Step 4
Add ice cubes to each glass and pour the margaritas into the glasses – these will be strong and a big handful of ice helps balance it all out. We also put the ice right in the pitcher for our last party and that worked fine, too. Place a little lime wedge on the rim of the glass as pictured for looks!

Chef's notes
If you use a cup measure as your “part”, you’ll get about 8 servings.
1 cup simple syrup + 2 cups lime juice + 3 parts tequila = 6 cups
6 cups = 1 average-sized pitcher = 8 individual margaritas
It took me about 15-20 small limes to get 2 cups lime juice.
Scale up or down as needed depending on the size of your group!
Store any leftover margaritas in the fridge. Good news:
this will keep for quite a while! Just cover the top of the pitcher well so it doesn’t get any weird fridge tastes.
