How much Margarita for 6 people — exact measures?
Exact Margarita measures scaled for your guest count — ml per ingredient and short procedure.
Quick answer
Hosting 6 guests? One Margarita per person scales cleanly: **dose × number of drinks**. Base recipe (50 ml Tequila · 20 ml Triple sec · 20 ml Lime juice) × **6** = your shopping list. Use the party buttons for 10 or 20 — the pain point is batch math before a summer terrace, not memorising IBA ratios.

Formula: base dose × number of drinks × glass factor. Non-ml items (splash, mint) stay per-glass notes. Spirits are not sold via our links — use the list when shopping locally.
How it works
We link **bar tools** (shaker, jigger, glasses) — not spirits (Amazon restrictions). Measure locally, mix with the short procedure below, and keep ice and fresh garnishes separate until service.
Frequently asked questions
What are the classic Margarita proportions?+
2:1:1 spirit to triple sec to lime (50 : 20 : 20 ml) — adjust lime for tartness.
How do I scale Margarita for a party of 20?+
Set drinks to 20 — every scalable ingredient multiplies by 20 (and by glass size if you use large cups). Buy spirits with ~10% extra; soda and ice do not store like wine — prep ice in batches and top with fizzy mixers just before serving.
Can I premix everything ahead of time?+
Shake to order; for batches chill a pitcher of tequila + triple sec + lime and shake portions with ice.
Do you sell the alcohol through this page?+
No — we only suggest bar tools (shaker, glasses, jigger). Buy spirits and vermouth from your local shop; the calculator gives exact ml for your guest count.
