This is my husband's secret recipe from Austin Texas. We always serve this to our favorite friends. A very straightforward margarita with no added sugar.
INGREDIENTS (for 6 servings):
- 3 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups fresh lime juice
- 1 1/2 cups cointreau
- 1 1/2 cups silver tequila
- 1 lime, cut into 8 wedges
- coarse salt
PREPARATION:
Combine the water, lime juice, tequila, and cointreau in a half-gallon pitcher. Stir to mix.
To serve, rub the rim of a margarita glass with lime, and dip in salt. Fill the glass with ice, and top with the tequila mixture. Garnish with a slice of lime.
