Make the margarita mix
Make the simple syrup. Combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar in a saucepan on the stovetop. Heat and stir occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved into the water. Remove from the heat, and let cool.
Juice the limes. Place a small fine mesh strainer on top of a liquid measuring cup (or bowl), and juice the limes over it. This way, you’ll catch any seeds or pulp that come out of the limes as you juice them.
Combine the ingredients in a pitcher or a large mason jar. Stir until combined, then refrigerate.

Find your largest pitcher.
Pour 12 oz. (1 ½ cups) tequila, 8 oz. (1 cup) triple sec and 20 oz. (2 cups) homemade margarita mix into the pitcher.
