Let sit for 30 minutes to cool.

Add the lime juice and stir until fully combined.

Use immediately or transfer to a refrigerator safe pitcher.

To make the margaritas: Add the margarita mix, tequila and triple sec to a cocktail glass filled with ice. Gently stir with a spoon to combine. Top it off with a lime wedge and enjoy!
