    thanks for simplifying how to make super juice in order to make it last longer. for me it's not the cost of the limes, but the waste of throwing away limes that have gone bad in my fridge!

    I'm so glad I found this channel. I had never heard of Cimarron before seeing it mentioned here. The quality for the price, it is become my go-to tequila.

    I can see that it will be margarita time at my house in Chiangmai, Thailand. I have 3 lime trees and the space to plant 3-4 more. I’ve got at least 4 or 5 bottles of tequila that I took over in 2004, before liquid in carry on bags was restricted. I’ll post her in November how my margaritas turned out.

    Love Cimarron! I’ll have to check out the Marie triple sec. I can always taste the DeKuyper.
    This looks good! That super juice is a science project😂😹

    Heading out to your place again for my birthday on November 15th, my wife is taking me and both families can’t wait to introduce people to your restaurant and bar! Name change scared me but as long as it’s still your place, or even more your place I’m thrilled to go!

    You turned me on to Cimarron a while back for economical margaritas and I have stayed with it. I don't look to make under a $1 rita at home but nice job on how to do it.

  • @BitterSteve
    @BitterSteve Місяць тому

    Awesome! I did a similar video a few months ago! I didn't go under a dollar though, but tried to keep the quality up and the cost down.

  • @CigarsNTequila
    @CigarsNTequila Місяць тому

    Product wise yes this is great. Time paying a bartender added makes that Margarita well out of reach at a dollar. But still this was a fun video. Cheers 😅

    Interesting stuff as always! A business still needs to add operations costs etc to that. Cheap drinks as a loss leader possibly.

    You should try pseudo citrus instead of super juice. Apparently it’s better but I haven’t had them side by side

    • @Lui_Fern
      @Lui_Fern  Місяць тому +3

      So funnily enough, I wrote the general outline for this video months ago, recorded in a month ago, and just released it yesterday. While we were editing it, I watched Steve's video on pseudo citrus and I thought to myself "Crap! I wish I saw this a few weeks ago"

  • @juancarlosbadillarojas6272
    @juancarlosbadillarojas6272 Місяць тому

    Great video! A small nitpick is that the final cost of the recipe would be $1.04, as just the tequila and the triple sec would add up to $1. And at first I was wondering why not go 2:1:1 and skip the simple syrup, but that would make it more expensive and more Dekuyper taste lol. Thank you for sharing!

      At my local Safeway it’s 4 for $5 ($1.25 each). For “large” limes that are small af. It’s ridiculous.

  • @deadlift9360
    @deadlift9360 Місяць тому +1

    Pretty hard for you to squash the prices even more. Only way is to cut the middle- man aka retailer and have the needed ingredients delievered to you.
    Without the margin of the retailer (roughly 30% [atleast in Germany] overall) your first recipe is basicly 1$ ... pretty impressive!

    How about avoiding the cheap triple sec by making a Tommy's Margarita?

    • @Lui_Fern
      @Lui_Fern  Місяць тому

      Not a bad idea! Agave is more expensive than sugar so I'm not sure how they would equate out in costs. But not a bad idea

  • @sweepauto
    @sweepauto Місяць тому +1

    Really shows how bars are really the money maker part of a restaurant. Nothing wrong with that but just interesting that much of the revenue comes from the bar.

    • @thesolidsnek8096
      @thesolidsnek8096 Місяць тому +1

      Yeah i mix cocktails with medium priced spirits selfmade syrups etc and most of my cocktails cost around 2€ or less in production despite using good quality ingredients. I am being generous with the alcohol cuz i feel guilty at times

    • @kbrichmo8547
      @kbrichmo8547 Місяць тому

      Oh yeah its getting insane nowadays. Most cocktails realistically cost a few bucks to make at home and probably less with wholesale ingredients. And yet most bars charge 10-15 dollars minimum

    • @Lui_Fern

  • @mrfinesse
    @mrfinesse Місяць тому

    Ice and Hot water are not free, neither is salt and the clean-up... Probably adds a few cents to the price. But thanks very much for this Econ of Margarita lesson. If you could spend $2.00, what would you change

    • @Lui_Fern
      @Lui_Fern  Місяць тому

      If I could spend $2.00 I'd probably just use Cointreau as my triple sec.
