The Margarita has been around since the 1930s - Margarita is the Spanish word for daisy, which are a family of cocktails which use a liqueur to sweeten the base spirit, and citrus, and the Margarita is essentially a Tequila Daisy. Its popularity shows no sign of waning though, and the base model has been built on to create many great riffs - here are 3 great ones.
SPICY MARGARITA:
1 jalapeno
10ml (⅓ oz) agave syrup
15ml (½ oz) orange liqueur
60ml (2 oz) reposado tequila
20ml (⅔ oz) lime juice
Glass: coupe or martini
Garnish: tajin rim, dried chilli (optional)
Use a lime wedge to wet half the rim of your glass and dab in Tajin. Add your jalapeno and tequila to your shaker tin, muddle, then add the rest of your ingredients to your shaker tin. Add ice and shake hard. Double strain into your glass, garnish with a dried chilli if you have one, and enjoy!
SIESTA COCKTAIL:
45ml (1 ½ oz) blanco tequila
10ml (⅓ oz) Campari
20ml (⅔ oz) lime juice
15ml (½ oz) grapefruit juice
15ml (½ oz) sugar syrup
Glass: coupe or martini
Garnish: dehydrated lime wheel
Add all of your ingredients to a shaker tin, add ice and shake as hard as you can. Double strain into your chilled glass. Garnish with a dehydrated lime wheel and enjoy!
