How to Make The Ultimate Lime Margarita

  1. Combine 1 cup tequila, ¾ cup lime juice, ½ cup Cointreau or triple sec, and ½ cup agave nectar in a 4-cup measuring cup. Stir well to combine.
  2. **For blended margaritas:** Fill a blender halfway with ice cubes (approximately 2 cups).
  3. Add half of the margarita mixture to the blender.
  4. Blend until the mixture is thick and icy.
  5. Divide the blended margarita between two glasses filled with ice.
  6. Repeat steps 2-5 with the remaining ice and margarita mixture.
  7. **For margaritas on the rocks:** Fill four glasses with ice cubes.
  8. Divide the margarita mixture evenly among the glasses.
  9. Garnish with lime wedges and enjoy!
  10. **Do-ahead tip:** Cover and refrigerate the prepared margarita mixture for up to 24 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
