A Pitcher for 8, No Muddling

Spicy margaritas for a crowd without muddling a single pepper.

Pro Tip
This is where a measured syrup beats muddling forever: 1/4 oz per serving scales linearly, so 8 servings = 2 oz, no guessing, no pepper roulette across the pitcher. Sweet crowd? Sugar mutes heat, so bump to 4 oz (two "Swi-cy" squeezes per serving) and the pitcher keeps up.
