BRIEF HISTORY OF THE MARGARITA
According to cocktail historian David Wondrich, the margarita is merely a popular Mexican and American drink, the Daisy (margarita is Spanish for “daisy”), remade with tequila instead of brandy, which became popular during Prohibition as people drifted over the border for alcohol. There is an account from 1936 of Iowa newspaper editor James Graham finding such a cocktail in Tijuana, years before any of the other margarita “creation myths”.
- David Wondrich (5 May 2010). “Behind the Drink: The Margarita”. Liquor.com.
CLASSIC MARGARITA
The classic Margarita recipe is a simple 3:2:1 ratio of strong, sour and sweet. No need for adding extra simple syrup as the sugar content of the triple sec/Cointreau balances the sour. Margaritas are a party drink so I like to serve them in an old fashioned glass over ice!
INGREDIENTS
- 45mL Blanco Tequila (1½ oz)
- 15mL Triple Sec (½ oz)
- 30mL Fresh Lime Juice (1 oz)
METHOD
1. Rim the glass with salt - moisten the glass with a piece of lemon or lime and place upturned onto a plate of salt
2. Combine all ingredients into your cocktail shaker
3. Shake with ice
4. Strain into a chilled coupe or margarita glass
5. Garnish with a lime wedge or wheel
TOMMY’S MARGARITA
The Tommy's Margarita has very little variation from a traditional Margarita. With a touch more tequila and the replacement of Triple Sec with agave syrup. 15mL of agave syrup is plenty otherwise it will overtake the drink.
INGREDIENTS
- 60mL Tequila (2 oz)
- 30mL Fresh Lime Juice (1 oz)
- 15mL Agave Syrup (½ oz)
METHOD
1. Combine all ingredients into your cocktail shaker
2. Shake with ice
3. Strain over fresh ice into an old fashioned glass
4. Garnish with a slice of lime
FROZEN MANGO MARGARITA
The Frozen Margarita is the perfect summer, Tequila cocktail with versatility. Utilise a multitude of different fruits to customise your Margarita - Strawberry and Mango and two favourites!
INGREDIENTS
- 45mL Tequila (1½ oz)
- 15mL Triple Sec (½ oz)
- 30mL Fresh Lime Juice (1 oz)
- Mango Puree, Pulp or Cheeks
METHOD
1. Combine all ingredients into your blender jug
2. Blend for 20-30 seconds or until smooth
3. Pour into a coupe or Margarita glass
4. Garnish with a lime wheel
CUCUMBER & JALAPENO MARGARITA
A spicy variation on a classic Margarita! The spicy jalapenos pair nicely with the cooling properties of fresh cucumber. Adds a little bit of a kick to your standard Margarita.
INGREDIENTS
- 45mL Blanco Tequila (1½ oz)
- 15mL Triple Sec (½ oz)
- 30mL Fresh Lime Juice (1 oz)
- Cucumber
- Jalapeno
METHOD
1. Muddle a few slices of cucumber into your cocktail shaker
2. Add a few slices of jalapeno (muddling these is optional - hot!)
3. Combine the remaining ingredients into your shaker
4. Shake with ice
5. Dump contents into a salt rimmed old fashioned glass
MEXICAN BULLDOG (Coronita Margarita Recipe)
The Mexican Bulldog a.k.a Frozen Coronita Margarita is the perfect beer cocktail for a hot summers day. It combines refreshing cold beer with a citrusy, tequila-based cocktail, the Margarita!
INGREDIENTS
- 60mL Tequila (2 oz)
- 22.5mL Triple Sec (¾ oz)
- 37.5mL Fresh Lime Juice (1¼ oz)
- Coronita (or another Mexican Beer)
METHOD
1. Combine all ingredients except the beer into your blender
2. Blend with ice for 20-30 seconds or until smooth
3. Pour into a large glass (a Boston or pint glass works well)
4. Upturn your Mexican beer into the glass
5. Garnish with a lime wedge

Even though the salt is gross. Well, it's not that bad, but virtually impossible to get the right proportions in each sip and the last little bit in the glass would be better described as brine.

love your vids cant wait to see what else you create 😊
I'm gonna be honest, every time he smiles into the camera I almost cry its so sweet and kind
Great recipes. I love margaritas. I like making Palomas, which I use tequila, sweet and sour (or you can use triple sec), fresh lime juice, and fresh grapefruit juice. You can also substitute the grapefruit juice for fresh blood orange juice for a blood orange variation.
Steve the Bartender my hero!!!!
MARGARITAS!!! 👌🍸☀️ Always on the rocks. Had the best watermelon liquor margarita once. So many options.
Outstanding video thank you. Cheers!
I love the Tommy's recipe. Very simple and very tasty. I generally use reposado Tequila. I also like to add ~15ml of Solerno blood orange liqueur as an alternate to Triple Sec. It adds a different/stronger orange taste and aroma to the drink. Nice balance to the lime juice. "Tres Agaves" brand Organic Margarita mix (you add the tequila) is still my favorite mix if I'm making a big batch, but the Tommy's recipe tastes even better IMO. The mix is convenient and tastes really good - great backup if you don't have fresh limes. I also add a small splash of the Solerno to the Tres Agave''s mix as well.
You have such a friendly kind teddy bear (not the swearing version) vibe it's incredible! And them recipes looking pretty good my friend!
This was one of your best vids. 😉

Nice one Steve!
Good to see variations of margarita, I love tequila and am also a mixologist. I’ve used all these before and they don’t disappoint. Great stuff mate, you should try a Michelada and a paloma if you like tequila. Keep up the good work 🙌🏽
Always love the smile when you skate haha.
they all seem so tasty!!!!
Love your videos mate! I prefer the simple classic margarita but usually,I go with an old fashioned, negroni, GT, and so on. I tried the Mexican bulldog a couple of times a few years ago but I didn't mix the margarita before adding the beer. If you don't want it to spill over the edge of the glass you should tilt the glass a bit. Skål from Sweden!
Steve, always love your videos. I haven’t seen them all, but I was wondering if you have a sure-fire hangover drink that you make?
Ok - probably your best video yet. Enjoying seeing more of your personality come through!
