Cinco de Mayo

So tomorrow at work we are having a Cinco de Mayo party at the end of the day, and what would be better than a cold margarita? Nothing. I mixed up a batch of margaritas to take in to the office, using Jeffrey Morgenthaler's (http://www.jeffreymorgenthaler.com/2006/a-gallon-of-margaritas/) recipe for a gallon of margaritas (I halved the amount). I made one change, using agave syrup instead of simple syrup (basically because I was out of sugar but had a healthy amount of agave nectar in the pantry). Having tested it myself, I say it turned out well. We'll see how the coworkers like it tomorrow.

3 cups tequila (Cazadores Blanco)
1.25 cups triple sec (Patron Citronge)
1.25 cups fresh lime juice
1.25 cups fresh lemon juice
1 cups agave syrup
