BIG MARGARITAS RECIPES

Steps:

• Wash the lemons and limes, and cut the fruit into quarters. Squeeze juice from the fruit quarters into a 1-gallon glass ice tea jar, and place the squeezed fruit quarters into the jar. Fill the jar with ice cubes, and pour in the sugar and tequila. Top off the jar with more ice cubes if some have melted from the tequila. Seal the jar, and wrap the jar with a wet (but not sopping wet) hand towel.
• Gather 8 or so people in a circle, and pass the jar from one to the next, each person shaking the jar for 3 to 5 minutes. The drink is ready when the sugar has dissolved and the hand towel freezes and sticks to the jar. Dispense into ice-filled glasses and serve.

Steps:

• For a margarita on the rocks: In a cocktail shaker, combine all of the liquid ingredients.  Shake vigorously until everything is well mixed. Use a lime slice and gently run it around the rim of a margarita glass.  Dip the margarita glass into salt/sugar. Fill the glass with ice, and pour the contents of the shaker into the glass. Garnish with lime slices on the rim, and a few strawberry slice in the drink. For a frozen margarita: In a blender, add all of the liquid ingredients and add two handfuls of ice. Blend for a few minutes. Use a lime slice and gently run it around the rim of a margarita glass.  Dip the margarita glass into salt/sugar. Pour the contents of the blender into the glass. Garnish with lime slices on the rim, and add a few strawberry slices to the top of the blended mix.
