Party Margs for 8
An example of stretching a classic margarita recipe to serve a larger group.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 12 oz tequila
- 6 oz cointreau
- 8 oz lime
- 2 oz simple syrup
- 4 oz lemon/lime soda or club soda
- 2 oz orange juice
- 4 oz prosecco
Instructions
- Add ingredients to a pitcher with about 4 cups of ice. Pour over ice in glasses.
Notes
~4 oz dilution to start, will increase as ice melts
With the margarita ingredients alone, the punch is sitting at about 24%. In this recipe, I am allotting 1.5 oz tequila and .75 oz Cointreau, adding soda and orange juice, which both mimic the flavors already in the drink, a bit of extra lime to keep the acid balanced with the added sugars, and a prosecco top to keep it light. After all that the punch will sit around 18%, gradually diluting even further as the ice melts. 4-5oz servings would work best.
