Homemade Margarita Mix

Before we make your Margarita cocktail, let us make some homemade Margarita mix, which is the citrus juice you use to make the cocktail. You can get one at the grocery store, but homemade is always better.

What you need:

• 2 cups water
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup fresh lime juice

What to do: 

1. Pour two cups of water and 2 cups of sugar in a saucepan.
2. Stir slowly over medium heat until the sugar has been completely dissolved. Now you have your simple syrup.
3. Let your syrup cool down, and mix it with one cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice and one cup of lime juice.
4. You can now use your mix to make a cocktail. If you have some leftover, transfer the Margarita mix in a sealed container, and store it in your refrigerator for a maximum of one week.
