Easy B#tch Margaritas

 

BATCH not BITCH – f#cking auto-correct.

Welcome to the best bitch batch margarita recipe.  This tried and true simple margarita recipe has served as a mainstay of our parties.  Forget the mixes!   This is a classic Batch Margarita recipe you can make in minutes.

Developed in the days of college house parties, this recipe can be inexpensive or not so inexpensive (insert your brand of tequila).  This the best large batch margarita recipe for a crowd.  Just Pitcher Perfect

If you want to make this spicy, slice a few jalapenos (with the seeds) and let them soak in the bottom of the pitcher. 

Rim your glasses with coarse salt.  I find that this is easily accomplished by wetting the rim with one of the sliced limes. Fill the glass with ice and pour your tasty concoction.  Garnish with a lime wedge or wheel.

 

Ingredients

  • Frozen Limeade

Whether you prefer sweet, savory, or spicy, there is a tequila cocktail for you.  Adding pineapple juice or agave nectar can make your tequila cocktail a little sweeter.
