Thanks to our dad, this recipe has been a go-to for all of our family parties. It’s everyone’s favorite! —Kaley

Ingredients

  • 2 cups blanco tequila
  • 2 cups triple sec
  • 6 to 10 ounces

Method

In a punch bowl, combine the tequila, triple sec, agave, water, and lime juice. Stir the ingredients, then add the ice. If you like your margaritas sweeter, or with more lime flavor, add more agave or lime juice to suit your taste. (Make sure to use fresh limes instead of store-bought lime juice!)

My family also likes to make this recipe spicy by infusing the tequila with jalapeños a fe
