I do a similar mescal margarita but I use Ancho Reyes rather than some slices of hot peppers. It's slightly sweet so I do 3/4 curacao, and 3/4 ancho reyes, and no simple (although I like my drinks less sweet so the agave syrup would still be nice).

The ginger grapefruit one makes me think of a dark and stormy had a baby with a grapefruit margarita. Perhaps call it “Tormenta de pomelo” or simply a Margarita Tormentosa

If you could pull off even 50, I’d be impressed - - and I’d love it!!!

Okay, so here's an idea. Get some booze, invite some friends over and put an Anders video on repeat and everyone builds there own cocktails. An Anders party!

I love the "half salt" idea. Never thought of just doing one side, and sometimes, I find myself either craving or getting sick of the salt and sweeping it off. So simple. "Facil" even.

No need to go by the traditional recipe, choose to have your cocktails according to whatever you're feeling at the moment!

Love the Hibiscus variant. I worked in a Mexican Restaurant that had Aguas Frescas like Horchata and Jamaica. Jamaica was made in the traditional way the Mexican owners remembered from their home state of Jalisco with dried hibiscus flowers, ginger, and sugar. I simply added half ounce of fresh lemon and lime with reposado tequila and orange curacao. I called it the Quibiscus. Summertime favorite in the restaurant!

​@@Gavinbelsonno, it's not. It's a flower and you need to soak it in very hot water to infuse, do not boil. It's quite yummy, refreshing and it helps to lose weight. They sell it everywhere in the States now

Spicy margs with Mescal are absolutely incredible, highly recommended (along with all these). Ancho Reyes liqueur also a great option instead of jalapeños for a kiss of some sweet while dialing back the heat a notch or two. Nice work as always sir 🍻

I just started my bar and cocktail journey 2 weeks ago in large part thanks to your channel. You make this so approachable, so thanks for the great content! Going to keep it simple and do the classic! probably going to have a few people where i work that will join me for cocktail hour on the 5th so I'll get to practice making multiples at once. I'm excited

I've been making a lot of margaritas lately, so having some tried and tested variations is very welcome. I need to try that hibiscus syrup, thank you Anders for sharing! Great video!

I personally love using Fresno Chiles instead of Jalapeños. I think their slight flavor differences work really well with Mezcal specifically. I also love the slight red tint it gives the drink.

I made the OG, Spicy and Hibiscus this weekend for my mom’s 71st birthday and each recipe was a MUST HAVE for everyone. I got repeats and demands constantly throughout the day. 💚

Fantastic timing with this video! I just finished my first version of making a chamoy margarita. a friend of mine from mexico is always saying my cocktails are sweet. So I set out to make one with a flavory profile she would like. She said she loves the taste of Chamoy. I broke down the ingredients and set out to make a cocktail have the same profile, but not feel like I just used Chamoy in a normal marg. Chamoy is made from ingredients that represent all the flavors on the palate: Sweet dried apricots, spicy chile de árbol, salty Tajín seasoning, and sour hibiscus flowers. I already was using hibiscus simple in a whiskey sour variation at the bar. But it really wasn't providing a sour taste to it. I also wanted to keep things as simple as possible so I tried to make sure I only needed one syrup for the cocktail. I decided that the heat from the chillies, the flavor from the hibiscus, and the sugar in the syrup would all work well together. But in order to really get that pop of sour I was looking for I added some citric acid to the mix. Basically, I steeped the chillies in hot water, added the dried hibiscus flowers, added citric acid to the sugar and then slowing poured in the sugar to the chillie hibiscus water, stirring the whole time. Once I had the simple syrup it was a pretty easy build of: 2 oz blanco tequila, 1 oz apricot juice, 3/4 oz simple. Served with a Tajin rim. Worked really well.

Those are all so good! I do prefer a mix of the classic and Tommy's margarita by doing .5 oz. each of triple sec and agave syrup. Liber & Co makes a blood orange cordial that can be used to make a blood orange margarita which is also excellent. Oh, and for a bit of whimsy on May 4, slice your lime into wedges, and position them like ears on your glass. You now have a Yoda-rita!

TO THE BAR!

i could binge watch all your videos. you have a fun personality and make each video entertaining and informative

Anders, I made the grapefruit-ginger version this evening. I'll definitely put this one in my rotation. I love how the grapefruit and ginger flavors are so subtle and don't compete with the tequila--beautifully balanced.

Just found your channel a couple days ago and can’t stop watching! Really enjoying all the videos and experimenting with cocktails at home. Looking forward to more videos in the future!

We, my wife and I, recently subscribed! We really like the production value of your videos, very well put together. You bring a real interest to the art of mixing drinks. Not to mention it's just good to have some fun watching someone who obviously enjoys what they're doing. So kudos to you! Oh, and we want to do a tiki night this summer so how about a top five tiki drink list?

While i love a great Margarita. The Paloma has been at the top of the tequila cocktails leader board at my house for the past year or so. I use fresh grapefruit juice, Ruby Red grapefruit, when i can find it and also top off with grapefruit soda. These Margaritas look delicious!

Margarita is my favorite cocktail 😍 Your channel is the best ❤️

Cheers to Sharon! My restaurant that I work at has a cocktail named “The Rude Frenchie” which is literally a margarita with Bissap (hibiscus juice in many languages but bissap in Senegal 🇸🇳!) and I love the added clove note to the SS! But I’ll use a SS we make with rosemary and honey to enrich and deepen the flavor. But instead I’d 3/4 I’ll use 1/2 because the honey is so rich. Such a great cocktail!

I love seeing the measuring cup being held onto the tint without leaving a syrup circle on the table. How convenient and what a genius creation!

Thanks Anders, I needed this list to hopefully usher in the warmer weather here in MIlwaukee. Cheers to you and Az!

Hi Anders! We made the hibiscus syrup and the hibiscus margarita. A pure delight!!! Thanks a lot ! Merci beaucoup !

Yum! That grapefruit ginger one looks especially intruiging. Thanks!

I'm going to make all of these! Super! Thanks for sharing!!

fantastic as always. how do remember what you are going to say. I can't thank you enough for getting me through my isolation when I had covid. thank you both so much.

Definitely going to make all five of them. I frequently make a traditional margarita and sometimes make is with mezcal. The addition of the jalapeño sounds amazing.

Your channel has been amazing! Really good content. It’s transformed my cocktail party game significantly.

Hell yes! The Smoky Spicy for me! 😋😋

I’m gonna make them all! Thank you! Great video and margarita tutorial!

This is awesome definitely making the grapefruit one tonight. And when my hibiscus flowers come I will make the syrup for that cocktail. Can’t wait! Thank youuu

Made the classic version last night and it was a hit with the family. I used the Milagro Reposado but substituted Grand Marnier for the orange curacao. Added just a tiny bit of agave syrup (about a 1/4 of an ounce). Tasted great! It will be fun to play around with different versions of this using other brands of tequila and such. Great video, Anders!

Your videos make my day. Your instructional and anecdotal delivery is a perfect balance of education and entertainment. No, I'm not kidding. That is all. Well, that and I probably need a hobby (ok, another hobby). Have a great weekend.

I love the comment about the frozen. "Get over it." Love the videos.

I love grapefruit and ginger so that one had to be my second cocktail you've made that I copied. The other was corn and oil, my wife loves it too. Thanks for the inspiration and cheers to you both!

That spicy jalapeño one was outstanding! Thank you! My go to for this coming summer.

I made your grapefruit recipe, but swapped the ginger for a habanero simple syrup. Sooo good! Thanks for the content, always great

For the ginger grapefruit. Use a coffee grinder on some candied ginger, mix with the salt on the rim.

I do like the sound of the grapefruit and ginger margarita!

Definitely want to try the ginger grapefruit!

These all looked and sounded delicious! Definitely will be trying a few of these.

I might go for a variation of the Grapefruit Ginger one; I’ve tried Kevin Kos’ take on citrus “superjuices” from a number of weeks back, and I’ve loved them so much that I’ve been using them to create an endless supply of lemonade/limeade/orangeade. Subbing out the lime in yours for grapefruit superjuice would provide a nice, dry kick.

thank you for the video

That plug delivery was great.

Amazing video! I would totally buy those coasters as merch!

Grapefruit ginger margarita is a top seller at my bar!! Thank you sir!

LOVED all of these recipes....I even have a good sized bag of hibiscus flowers hiding somewhere in my cupboard, woo hoo! Tajin is KILLER on watermelon and mango...it's similar to what street vendors use in Mexico: lime, salt, chili!
