I have been working on this recipe for years…..really.  There has been a lot of testing and discussion and each time we perfected it, well you guessed it, no one wrote it down!  This weekend we did and I am happy to share it with you:

1 cup tequila

1/2 cup Triple Sec

1/2 cup Mott’s Margarita pre-mix with Agave

1/2 cup Realemon

1/2 cup water

I mix it together in a 1 litre wine carafe with lots of ice and pour into salt-rimmed glasses and serve with a slice of lemon or lime.

Enjoy!!
