Texas Summertime Margaritas

One of our top three go-to cocktails, the Margarita is something that is sure to be a hit at your next party. Balancing the tartness of limes, the sweetness of triple sec, and full bodied flavor of tequila, this is sure to please.
We've done the math (and the taste-testing) so that the ratios turn out pretty darn good when making large volumes, though feel free to tweak it to suit your taste!
Ingredients:
- Your favorite 100% blue agave tequila (we used Lunazul blanco)
- Your favorite triple sec (we used Cointreau)
- Your favorite margarita mix (we used Tres agaves organic lime margarita mix)

To make:
- Pour the quantities in your clean keg. Stir gently with a clean spoon to mix well.
- Place the lid on your keg, connect your CO₂ setting your regulator at 5 psi.
- Purge out the oxygen in your keg by lifting the release ring for 2-3 seconds (letting the CO₂ push out the air). Repeat 2 more times.
Consuming right away? Connect your tap and serve into a salt or Tajín rimmed glass with ice and a lime slice for garnish.
- Rimming a glass: Sprinkle flaky salt or Tajín onto a plate. Rub lime around the rim of your glass, wetting it so that the salt will stick. Gently dip the rim into the salt / Tajín, wobbling it so that a light layer sticks to the rim.
Preparing in advance? Disconnect your CO₂ and store in a fridge or in your Keg Bag with ice until ready.
Impress at your next party with margs on tap! Salud!
