For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of orange liqueur (such as Cointreau or Triple Sec). Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference. Some prefer a tarter Margarita, while others like it sweeter. Use high-quality tequila for the best flavor. Blanco or Silver tequila is typically recommended for margaritas. If you don't have a 1-gallon jar, you can divide the recipe into smaller batches. Be careful when shaking the jar – ensure the lid is secure to avoid spills!
