18oztequila (I typically use a blanco or silver tequila for this)more or less depending on how strong you enjoy it
1 ½cupslime juice
1 ½cupsCointreau or Triple Sec (orange liquor)
1cupChambord
Instructions
In a pitcher or bowl, mix all ingredients, whisk together until completely combined.
Taste and adjust
Fill mason jars leaving room (headspace) at the top of each jar. These will freeze, so you want to leave extra space. Place the lids on and store in your freezer at least 24 hours or until ready to serve.
This will make enough to fill about 8 (eight) 8 oz mason jars or 4 - 24 ounce mason jars.
To make Simple Syrup
Make your simple syrup by combining 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water In a pot. Heat and stir just until the sugar is dissolved completely, Remove from heat, stir and cool. (See Notes)
Notes
You can omit the Chambord and just make Classic Margaritas. You can flavor your simple syrup with strawberries, lime or even jalapenos. Once you have the classic margarita recipe down, you can experiment with all sorts of flavors by tinkering with homemade simple syrups as well as a variety of flavored liquors. Adding Watermelon Pucker for example in place of Chambord will get you scrumptious Watermelon Margaritas.
