Margaritas are all about the law of three - three equal measures of tequila, triple-sec/cointreau, and lemon/lime juice. The easiest way I know is to just use 750mls because that’s the standard size of spirit bottles – no stuffing around with measurements.
1 x 750 ml bottle tequila (don’t skimp, use the good shit)
1 x 750 ml bottle triple sec or cointreau (cointreau is definitely the less scabby option)
Then fill one of the empty 750 ml bottles with
1/2 blood orange juice, quarter lime juice, quarter lemon juice
1/2 cup of sugar syrup made with 20 cloves
(Cook down ¾ cup water and ¼ cup sugar on low heat with cloves until you have about ½ cup then strain out cloves)
To serve, pour equal measures and the syrup (remember the law of three) over a jug of ice. FYI frozen’s are for pussies. Get a fucking slushie.
Depending on how sweet/sour you like it you can hold back on the triple sec or cointreau because normal magos don’t use sugar syrup.
Coat the rim of the glasses with sugar mixed with ground cloves (just a bit) this will make peoples lips go numb just like gak does – fun! If you really want to show off, mix in a little salt for that totally now sweet/salty taste combo.
Hint: If you give a shit about your health and want to try in some very small way to mitigate the strip mall of destruction drinking a few of these will do to your bod, use fresh juice use Stevia instead of sugar in the syrup.
