My wife has always preferred her margaritas made with margarita mix instead of a classic build. So I decided to make her one completely from scratch using fresh citrus, simple syrup, and just a touch of citric and malic acid to brighten the flavor and help it stay fresh longer. If you're the type of person who loves margarita mix, you're going to love this recipe. If you're planning to shake your margaritas, use the recipe as written. If you'd rather keep it ready to pour over ice without shaking, simply add the optional water below to pre-dilute the batch. Stored in a sanitized, airtight bottle in the refrigerator, this mix will keep for about 5-7 days. Save this recipe for your next get together and let me know if you give it a try! Homemade Margarita Mix 6 oz lemon juice 6 oz lime juice 9 oz 1:1 simple syrup 2.8 g citric acid (0.45%) 1.1 g malic acid (0.18%) Optional: Add 4.2 oz water (20%) if you'd like to keep the mix ready to pour over ice instead of shaking.
