The Perfect Margarita

In a 2-quart pitcher, combine the lime-aid concentrate, tequila, triple sec and orange juice. Stir to combine, then top off the pitcher with cold water and stir again.

Next slice the limes in half and squeeze their juice into the pitcher with your hands, or with a juicer if you have one. Watch out for the seeds! For extra flavor, I like to leave the squeezed limes in the pitcher with the mix.

Allow the mix to sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes so the flavors can blend, then serve straight up with a lime wedge, or blend over ice for the classic frozen margarita.
