Margarita - Shaker BarSchool®

MARGARITAS http://ow.ly/2gtGR
The Margarita, meaning daisy in Spanish, was supposedly created in 1946 by Margarita Sames at a cocktail party in Acapulco in Mexico. If using blanco tequila, add a little more sugar than if using an aged tequila.

Glass: 10 oz rocks or 5 oz Martini
Method: shake & strain
25ml Tequila
25ml Cointreau/triple sec/Grand Marnier
25ml lime juice
1 barspoon of sugar/agave syrup

Put all the ingredients into a mixing glass and fill with ice. Cap with a Boston shaker and shake for a few seconds. Strain either over ice in a rocks glass or fine strain straight up into a cocktail glass that has been frosted with salt. Garnish with a perky lime wedge or lime wheel which can be used to take the salt off the rim of the glass.

Margarita variations
A classic twist on the margarita is the Japanese Slipper, which substitutes a melon liqueur for the Cointreau. The Margarita can be twisted similarly to the Daiquiri, using fresh fruit, Funkin purées, syrups or liqueurs. Also using rested and aged tequilas can change the dimension of this classic tequila cocktail.

I thought the margarita had the whole rim salted... hmm...

@RPGgrenade Salt is for chips. Even though a salt rim is part of the "classic" recipe it has no benifit to the flavour of the Tequila. Sugar is a common and (from a taste point of view) more appropriate alternative. Or you could could do half salt and half sugar, so everyone is happy!

pretty sure the glass should be salted first.

haha, i know i'm just being picky ^^

Maybe it's just me, but there is something about a guy, or girl, bartender with an English accent that just really makes the experience THAT much BETTER!

Profound & proper!

AWESOME!

no ice??

[7VillaMaravilla7]

don't you get drunk when you taste every single cocktail you make??? =)

[C3le]

Just asking, you used golden tequila. Do you think it's better than its silver version? 

[Growupie]

@shakertv Salt isnt quite for chips, thats not an argument at all. Usually the best margarita has all the rim filled with salt, the true taste of it it is created by the salt, margarita without salt isnt the same. Good recepie, i just dont like the part of the rim in half. Sorry for bad english

I like this style, i make this exact recipe but drink mine in a tumbler with a little ice.

[janapetrova1990]

do not make margarita this way, totally wrong :[

[jadedmoons]

@schaeferstriker it was salted first...

[jadedmoons]

@shakertv not everyone has the same taste preference as you so what is or isn't appropriate depends on personal preference.You can ask for a drink to be made how you like.
