Notes
To make a 60-ounce pitcher of this, you will need these measurements:
If you do not have a cocktail shaker, place the ingredients in a mason jar with a tight lid or any container that seals well. Shake it until everything is combined. How do I measure the ingredients if I do not have an ounce measuring glass?
If you do not have an ounce measuring glass, use tablespoons. Two tablespoons equal one ounce. A standard US shot glass holds about one and a half ounces. What is the best kind of glass to serve this in?
You can use a classic margarita glass or keep it simple with a double old fashioned glass. Can this drink be served blended?
Yes. If you prefer it blended, add all the ingredients to a blender instead of a shaker and blend until you reach the texture you like. Pour it into your prepared glass and enjoy.
