• 2.25 Cups water
• 1.5 Cups fresh lemon juice
• 0.25 Cups sugar
• 1 Whole egg white
• 2 Cups ice cubes
• 2 Cups premium tequila

• 1 Pinch kosher salt, to taste

Steps

1. Prepare the Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 0.67 cups of sugar with 0.33 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
2. Make the Sour Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2.25 cups of water, 1.5 cups of fresh lemon juice, 0.25 cups of sugar, and 1 egg white. Whisk briskly until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is frothy. Set aside.
3. Mix the Margarita: In a large pitcher, combine 2 cups of ice cubes, 2 cups of premium tequila, 1 cup of Cointreau, 0.5 cups of lime juice, 1 ounce of the prepared simple syrup, and 0.5 cups of the sour mix. Stir vigorously for 8 to 15 seconds to chill and infuse the flavors.
4. Prepare the Glasses: Run a lime wedge along the rim of each 8-ounce glass. Spread kosher salt onto a plate and dip the glass rims into the salt to coat. Add ice to the glasses if desired.
5. Serve: Strain the margarita mixture into the prepared glasses. Garnish each with a lime wedge and serve immediately.
