I want to make a gallon or two at a time. Can I scale up the basic recipe of tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, agave nectar? I have a few bottles of tequila and mezcal already. Any advice or recipes? Any other drinks I should consider?

Try 3 parts tequila, 2 parts lime juice, 1 part Cointreau on a small scale and adjust the proportions to your taste for bulk

Bartending days I remember a 22 quart recipe that called for 3 liters of Tequila, 1 1/2 liters of triple sec (cointreau, grand marnier). 1/2 bottle of lime juice and fill with sweet and sour mix. Cut that in half for 2+ gallons.

FYI, fresh lime juice it at its best for 4 hours then starts rapidly declining

How long ahead of time are you planning to make your batch? I ask because fresh lime juice and agave nectar make the best fresh margaritas, but those almost need to be made to order. If making a large amount ahead of time it is hard to beat Simply Limeade.

3:1 good 100% blue agave tequila to orange liqueur. Blanco is best for the masses, but I like repasado for my personal favorite.

3 cups tequila
1 cup Cointreau/Grand Mariner/Triple sec
1 52 oz bottle of Simply Limeade

That makes a fairly strong rita (its half alcohol), so you may want to add more Simply Limeade to taste depending on your preference and crowd.

For my wife's birthday last year, instead of making it in bulk, we made a margarita bar so everyone could just make it themselves. We printed out a couple different recipes, but really just left it at our guest discretion. We did a ton of lime juice, tequila, Cointreau, triple sec, gran Marnier, a couple different salt blends (one was straight salt, one was sweeter with agave, and then a spicy one with tajin) and some different fruits/sides (I think strawberries, pineapple, blueberries and pickled jalapeños). It worked out great.

Go with the classics 3-2-1-1/2 ratio
3 parts tequila
2 parts triple sec or Cointreau
1 part fresh lime juice
1/2 part simple syrup or agave
Been making it for years and never had anyone complain
