How To Make a Margarita and Who to Serve It To?

Everything you need to know about the Margarita!

Hey there aspiring mixologists! After decades behind the bar, let me spill the agave nectar about the margarita – a timeless concoction that's the life of many a party. 

The Margarita is the perfect cocktail to transform any gathering into a lively "fiesta". Celebrate the end of a long day at happy hour or create the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing evening on the patio by toasting with friends over the classic and delightful margarita.

Here's the lowdown on crafting one that'll have your next Taco Tuesday be the talk of the town.

Margarita Recipe

 2oz/60 ml Blanco tequila (The soul of the drink. Opt for quality, 100% Blue Agave – you deserve)

1 oz orange liqueur: Adds sweetness and complexity. Cointreau's classic, or a good triple sec work too.

1 oz fresh lime juice: The lifeblood! Skip the store-bought stuff, squeeze it fresh trust me.

Salt (optional): Rim your glass for a salty-sweet kick. Coarse sea salt works wonders.

1 barspoon Simple Syrup (optional)

Put all ingredients in shaker with ice. Shake with ice and double strain into rock glass with cubed or cracked ice.

Shaking creates a smooth, sophisticated sip. Blending offers a thicker, frostier treat – ideal for poolside lounging. 

Who invented the Margarita?

The Margarita's origin is as hazy as a well-poured tequila. Whether it was a 1930s socialite's whim or a Mexican bartender's fiesta creation, we know one thing: tequila, lime, and orange liqueur teamed up, and the world cheered.

Margarita Variations

Unlocking the full potential of the margarita goes beyond the basics; it's a canvas for creativity. Venture into new realms with a spicy kick by muddling a jalapeño slice. For a burst of fruity goodness, consider swapping lime juice with mango, raspberry, or pineapple. Dive into the depths of flavor with a smoky twist by choosing mezcal over tequila. And for an extra touch of elegance, infuse your tequila with hibiscus or jalapeño, adding a unique and unforgettable dimension to your margarita experience.

Remember, with a bit of practice, you'll be the margarita maestro of your home bar. Use fresh ingredients, adjust sweetness to taste, don't skimp on ice (it's essential for dilution), and garnish with a lime wedge or a fun seasonal twist. After that, its time to simply lift a glass! Cheers!
