Batch-Ahead Margaritas
You’re going to love these batch-ahead margaritas! Not only do they taste fantastic, but they can be prepared up to a day ahead. This will allow you to visit with guests rather than your time being consumed with making cocktails. So go ahead and pour them into your salt rimmed cocktail glasses and share that tray of margaritas. Don’t worry that they’re getting watered down as you pass them around, because margaritas are best enjoyed after the ice melts a bit. Do share your margaritas with me on Instagram at @y_delicacies. I’d love to see how you’re enjoying my recipe!!!!
Be prepared to squeeze a lot o limes for 1 3/4 cup of fresh lime juice. It makes this cocktail incredibly refreshing!
