Maybe not great, but certainly good, and probably as good as the OP's
purchased lemonade. A gallon is a big size for condensed juice (it's
Costco), and even heavily sugared, it will deteriorate at fridge temps.
You could transfer it to smaller plastic bottles and freeze it. Heck,
even the Minute Maid is not bad.
Minute Maid made frozen concentrate is far better for making margaritas
that any bottled margarita mix, many of which have no lime juice at
all. Just add water, a decent tequila, Grand Marnier or Cointreau, and
shake with ice, and you'll have a better marg than almost any you'll be
served at an AmeriMex restaurant. If you prefer less tequila flavor,
just substitute a quality clean vodka like Absolut for part of the
tequila.

Or you could do it the old fashioned way. Squeeze the juice of six large
lemons into a pitcher (fish out the seeds). Then add 1 to 2 cups sugar (to
taste) and add 8 cups of cold water. Add ice cubes and stir well. If you
like it with mint, crush a couple of fresh mint leaves and toss them in the
pitcher. Serve this very well chilled (as the ice cubes would suggest).
You have to use fresh squeezed lemons. The first step is owning a
Cuisinart with a citrus juicer attachment. You can use cane sugar, as
Jill suggested, or you can use Splenda.
My suggestion is to
