  • Margarita is the Spanish word for daisy, so it is likely that the Margarita evovled from the Daisy family of cocktails. The original Daisy of the 1870s consisted of spirit, citrus, orange cordial, gum syrup, and seltzer served over ice. A Tequila Daisy, consisting of tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and soda water, was only a short stride away from a Margarita.
    INGREDIENTS
    - salt rim, optional
    - 2 oz / 60 ml blanco tequila
    - 1 oz / 30 ml Cointreau
    - 0.75 oz / 22.5 ml lime juice

    Personally I add a little agave syrup, especially if I'm using cointreau instead of dry Curaçao. I've actually grown to quite like the Tommy's margarita as well, especially when combined with an egg white to make a sort of tequila sour.

    • @greekfire995
      @greekfire995 Рік тому +5

      Limes vary greatly in their juice content. Generally you'll get around a half ounce for one half of a lime but that's just a ballpark amount. You may need more or less than half a limes worth to get your desired amount. So always buy more limes than you think you'll need.

    • @StevetheBartender_
      @StevetheBartender_  Рік тому +1

      There are no set rules with making drinks so you can serve it how you like. Traditionally speaking, I believe the Margarita (which is Spanish for Daisy) evolved from a family of cocktails known as "Daisies", which were a combination of spirit, liqueur and citrus (often with carbonated water). So, when it was first created in the 1930s/40s, it was most likely served in an old fashioned glass over ice.
