Erika uses one-half cup of agave to balance out the bitter citrus. But if you prefer to just use sugar, that is totally fine, too. Finally, once the limes, water, and agave are all inside your blender, it is time to pulse. Very carefully.
“Okay, this next step is really important. Only pulse your blender four times. Yep, that’s it,” Erika said.
You do not want to over-pulse the limes, or else your margarita mix will become insanely bitter. So be warned! Then, after you are done pulsing, you should grab a strainer and strain everything into a pitcher. Again, do not press on the limes while they are in the strainer, or else you will risk extra bitterness.
The next step is the last, and arguably best, step. Pick out your tequila of choice– Erika uses Casadores– and add one and a half ounces to a cup filled with ice. Afterward, you can pour your homemade margarita mix on top, give it a little stir, garnish with an extra lime slice, and sip away!
This homemade margarita recipe bypasses all of the processed and added sugars typically found in pre-made mixes and also gives you the opportunity to customize your drink however you like! Plus, whenever you drink this margarita with friends, you can think about Tilly and toast to a long and happy life.
