I’m experimenting with a small (half oz) amount of Gin; the juniper adds subtle depth that reinforces the agave and lime without overwhelming them.

After two, fall down the stairs and pass out

I prefer 1/2 oz Cointreau and 1/2 oz Agave syrup. Along with the other ingredients, to my palate this seems the best balance. Cheers!

Love these quick videos.

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.

​@@michaelmorris7781I've been doing this recently instead of cointreau and it's amazing. Adds complexity to the flavors. Also added it to a Paloma. Also you can try honey instead of agave. Sooo good

I like it add simple syrup or Demerara, and I like mine straight up, no salt

I wish we could save these shorts. These recipes are brilliant

Yes ... if you don't sing while shaking your marga ... it just doesn't turn out quite right :)

I prefer a good reposado tequila and grand marnier. My preferred ratios is a 4-3-2-1…. 2 oz tequila, 1.5 oz orange liqueur, 1 oz lime juice, .5 oz agave syrup

Easy and delicious.

Happy New Year Steve!! All the best for New Zealand 🇳🇿 ❤

My spec for a margarita is 45ml tequila blanco, 15ml Cointreau, 25ml lime, 15ml agave syrup. Shake for 5 seconds strain into a martini glass, but the r has to be salted and lime wheel on the edge

Thank you

Ahh Tommy's Margarita, My favorite... Good Show Steve

I do basically exactly this with a quarter oz of simple or agave. I usually use a curaco rather than cointreau too.

Awesome ❤

Wow that's delicious

I literally got that exact tequila for xmas & looked up Margarita Recipe😂

Definitely don’t go adding simple syrup to your margaritas! There is plenty of sugar in the Cointreau to balance the lime juice.

I do the same except take back the Cointreau just a little and add some agave

I use the same specs (with dry curaçao) except I usually just shake and dump because I’m lazy 😊

A lot of people saying they use Agave syrup, I don’t know if that’s how it’s supposed to be made but I quite like the drinks I make when using it vs when it’s skipped. It’s a good drink either way but I personally like sweeter cocktails.

My go-to marg at the moment is 2oz tequila blanco, 1/2 oz orange liquor, 2 oz lime juice, 1 oz agave syrup, and a dash of tajin. I also dress my cup with tajin. Cheers!

When I make a Margarita pitcher I use 2 parts Patron silver, 1 part Patron Citronge orange liqueur, 2 Parts Lime/Lemon juice, 1 part Orange juice, Ice & Blend. If needed after tasting I add simple syrup. Its a lighter Margarita but worth trying 😉

The problem i find with cocktails is by the time you’ve made everyone elses and go to make yours the first couple have been downed and are coming back for seconds. So unless you have a dedicated barman or everyone makes their own they’re not much fun at parties.

Hi steve, how bartenders know how much juice there's in a half lime?

@greekfire995

Жыл бұрын

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_

Жыл бұрын

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.

I would say this is the classic margarita, opposed to the right way. Many people that order it don’t realize that the original margarita is a very tart and a somewhat unbalanced cocktail.
