    to go margaritas in a container.

    This recipe is my take on the classic 3,2,1 margarita cocktail. Typically a classic margarita calls for 3 parts tequila, 2 parts triple sec and one part lime juice, and sometimes a sweetener. But in this cocktail-to-go recipe, we are going to take help from the limeade for part of the lime juice and the sweetener.

    ✨ Here is why this recipe is amazing:

    • The plastic container with twist top lid is perfect to take this cocktail to places like the pool, beach, lake, outdoor party or any place where glass containers are not a good idea.
    • No need to worry about ice watering down the cocktail as there is no ice included in the mix. Just be sure to have ice available when serving.
    • Premade mixers are not needed. Just 4 ingredients and you have a large batch of cocktails ready for travel.

    🍊 Ingredients needed to make a batch of margaritas:

    ingredients for to go margaritas, tequila, triple sec limeade, limes.

    Here is a visual overview of the ingredients in the recipe. Scroll down to the recipe at the bottom for quantities.

    📝 Ingredient notes:

    • Limeade: much like its cousin lemonade, limeade is made from lime juice, sweetener and water. It is often available in recyclable and reusable containers.
    • Tequila: The base of this festive cocktail on the go.
    • Triple sec: An orang-flavored liquor that brings a hint of orange flavor along with a bit of a kick.
    • Limes: I like to use fresh lime juice in this drink recipe for the juice as well as the garnish.

    🔄 Substitutions

    You can switch out the brand of tequila for your favorite brand. When I am making batch cocktails I don't reach for the top-shelf liquor. I save the best for my hand-crafted cocktails that are meant to be sipped and savored. Don Julio or Casamigos Blanco are some of my favorite options for this drink.

    Triple sec is going to be the orange flavored alcohol that I add to large-batch cocktails. It is more cost-effective than the more expensive Cointreau, or Grand Marnier. But if that is all you have, enjoy!

    If bottled lime juice is what you have in your pantry, use it! I love the taste of fresh limes but some people love the flavor of bottled lime juice. Use what you and your guests love.

    Lime slices are what is used to garnish this drink but another fun and festive garnish would be orange slices. You always want to garnich a cocktail with a representation of the flavors that will be found in the drink.

    🍹 How to premake margaritas for a crowd

    I love a good hand crafted cocktail as much as the next person but sometimes it is helpful to have a large back of premixed cocktails ready to go. It is such a time saver to have all the basic ingredients already premeasured and combined, ready to go. Just pour over ice, garnish and serve.

    1. Use the last ¼ of a jug of limeade.
    2. Juice the limes straight into the container.
    3. Add the rest of the ingredients, close the lid and shake to combine.

    1. Leave enough limeade in the bottle so it comes just below the first ridge.

    lime juice added to the simple syrup.

    2. Add lime juice so it comes halfway between the bottom ridge and the next ridge in the container. The juice of about 7 limes, or 7 ounces, or almost 1 cup.

    5. Add lime slices or wedges to garnish. Close, shake and chill until ready to serve.

    ❄️ Storage tips

    Store the pre-mixed cocktail in its closed container in the refrigerator or in a cooler filled with ice until ready to serve.

    🍽️ Serving Suggestions

    to go margaritas in a plastic bottle.

    If you are wanting to have the full bar experience, rim each glass or cup with a bit of course salt. To rim a margarita glass with salt you either run the cut side of a lime wedge around the rim of the glass to moisten it and then press it into a plate filled with salt. Or, you can dip the rim into a shallow dish with a bit of juice on it and then press the wet rim into salt.

    📝 Frequently asked questions, answers and tips:

    Can this be made by the gallon?

    Most definitely! I am only able to find limeade in the 52 ounce containers where I live. If you are able to find it by the gallon you are going to want to double the ingredients and then give an extra splash to found out the full ounces.

    How to you make a margarita not as strong?

    My first suggestion is to add more ice. Is will water down the drink, giving it more volume in relation to the alcohol in it. Secondly, you can also substitute orange juice for the triple sec.
