Yelena on 2024-09-28 (5 stars): The best classic Margarita recipe and it’s so easy to make it when the ingredients/proportions are provided for a pitcher.
Thank you, Aline! 👏
Laura on 2024-08-25 (3 stars): Not sure about this recipe… it was very full of lime flavor…not enough orange or tequila. And I added habanero simple syrup.
Jamie Valdez on 2024-08-11 (5 stars): I tripled this recipe for a family barbecue which made a huge amount but the entire container was gone by the end of the barbecue! Everyone commented how good and refreshing it is, one is a even a chef :-) Very smooth coctail that really allows all the flavors to blend well together, especially if you make it one day ahead. Obrigada Aline for another great recipe!
Amanda on 2023-08-14 (5 stars): I made this over the weekend, and it was delicious! So fresh tasting and I love that I didn't have to play bartender all night.
Lisa on 2023-08-14 (5 stars): This is the perfect margarita recipe for sharing! We made a couple batches for our weekend party and it was perfect! Thank you!
wendie on 2023-08-07 (5 stars): We served this with some steak tacos at a dinner party and they were a huge hit. So much easier to just make a pitcher and let guests serve themselves.
Jade on 2023-07-05 (5 stars): Great recipe! It was a hit at our party. Thanks for sharing.
Jessica on 2023-07-04 (5 stars): I bought agave just for this recipe and I don't regret it. I love the flavor and level of sweetness. We doubled the recipe and had a doubly good time.
