📝 Preparation Steps
1
For the simple syrup: In a small saucepan, whisk together the sugar and 1 cup water over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved (the syrup should be clear, not cloudy), 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a heatproof container with a lid. Let cool completely, about an hour on the counter or ⏱️ 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
2
For the margaritas: Use a funnel to pour the tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, a pinch of salt, 1/4 cup of the simple syrup, and 2/3 cup water into a clean 750-milliliter bottle or 1-quart freezer-safe glass jar. (Any remaining simple syrup will keep in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.) Put the lid on the bottle and shake to combine. Place in the freezer door until very cold, at least ⏱️ 3 hours and up to 2 months.
3
When ready to serve, remove the bottle from the freezer. If the margaritas are frozen solid, let the bottle sit at room temperature for 5 to ⏱️ 10 minutes to thaw slightly. Then, give the bottle a good shake. For a salted rim, place 2 tablespoons salt on a small plate. Run a lime wedge around the rims of 6 glasses and dip in the salt to coat. Fill the glasses with ice, add the margaritas, and garnish with lime wedges.
