Use a big cookie scoop add a rounded scoop of ice to each of the glasses.
Add the tequila, curacao, schnapps, whiskey, Aperol, and juices to a shaker filled with ice.

Notes
Tequila doesn't freeze so keep it in the freezer. Margaritas are best very cold.
Shake vigorously in an ice filled shaker for about a minute. The more air bubbles you add to the drink the better it will taste.
Fresh lime juice is much more flavorful than bottled.
Use colored sugar crystals mixed with lime zest to make the rims extra special.
