It’s easy to please a crowd by keeping a bottle of simple syrup at hand. And others may want a calmer drink, more like a sweet limeade. Because some may want just a small splash, to revel in the margarita’s clean, puckery goodness. I prefer to add simple syrup to individual margaritas according to the sweetness preference of each guest. This makes for much quicker cocktail preparation.Ībout an hour before guests arrive, I simply measure out larger quantities of tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice, and stir them together in a pitcher. I pop the pitcher into the fridge to chill (right beside my bottle of simple syrup) while I slice lime wedges and prepare a small plate of coarse salt for rimming the glasses. Instead of measuring out ingredients for every single drink, I like to create a mix ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator until our guests arrive.
