Iconic Margarita Cocktail Pitcher Recipes

Introduction 

This classic cocktail offers a zesty flavour profile in every sip. A simple combination of tequila, lime juice and orange liqueur create a balanced and flavourful margarita cocktail. While serving the drink one by one at parties is an option, nothing makes it more convenient for hosts than batch margarita cocktails.   

They are easy to prepare ahead and only need to be mixed right before serving. A margarita pitcher recipe ensures that you do not need to be behind the bar throughout the party. Pitchers and party dispensers make batch cocktails a handy yet fancy option for cocktail parties.   

The classic margarita cocktail has many modern variations. While the vintage recipe remains a favourite among tequila connoisseurs. Flavours and spices such as mango and jalapeños have joined the modern margarita mix. The resultant concoctions are unique and vibrant, ideal for modern tequila patrons.
