   1. This recipe makes two margaritas, but you can easily scale it up or down to serve as many as you'd like! When I'm making margaritas for a crowd, I like to mix the margaritas (without ice) in a large bowl or pitcher and keep it in the fridge, then ladle a bit of it into a cocktail shaker with ice whenever it's time to refresh a few drinks!

   2. If you're out of triple sec, make a simple syrup by combining 1 cup water with 1 cup sugar in a saucepan and heating until sugar has dissolved. I like to throw a few orange peels in with the simple syrup as it cooks to give it a little extra flavor.
