What Makes the Best Margarita in the World?

Making a Margarita could be the ticket for you to travel the World, but how do you create the Best Margarita possible? Well, today I’ve partnered with Cointreau l'Unique to tell you all about the Margarita Challenge 2024 - this time challenging bartenders to showcase the flavor of their city as a Margarita. For this, and to show you some tips you can use to create a better submission, I’ll make my own recipe called the Love Road Margarita using Yogurt-washed Tequila, Acid-adjusted Wine instead of Limes, Apple Meringues, Sea-salt Saline Solution, and of course, Cointreau. If you’re ready to learn and compete in this amazing competition, pull up a chair and get ready, it’s Cocktail Time!

    Lovely! For anyone having crazy pastry skills it would be cool making heart-shaped green mini macaron shells (it would remind of Cointreau being French and add another country in the mix). (at this point you know that I always watch until the end, but from the laptop, and today I don't have any pun with orange to use instead of the emoji)

    As a native Philadelphian, I would riff on the Water-Ice/ Italian-Ice and sacreligiously make a frozen margarita with homemade Lime and Orange Water-Ice, including pieces of the zest in the final product for visual appeal and texture. I always believe in adding salt to the drink itself, but leaving the rim half salted to allow choice to the imbiber. I'm also a fan of a rim that is a mix of salt and sugar, both. I would use a Blanco tequila for the peppery, citrus and grassy notes, and I'd serve it alongside a soft pretzel with a honey mustard that subs out the honey for Agave syrup. Serve it in a large margarita glass with a wooden spoon; the creation turning from an edible granita to a sippable margarita as it melts.

    🍊 Is this being posted on a Monday now the routine or just because of the competition. I really like this video for a few reasons. 1. The use of the left over wine. Do you think i can do the same thing with Blanc Vermouth? And how long will it last. 2. I love green apples 🍏. 3. Using the yogurt to add texture to tequila is a technique i forgot about. Im going to try it with Rum. 4. Everything seems easier to do than some of the other videos. Maybe I've just gotten used to your style.

  • @KevinKos

    @KevinKos

    3 ай бұрын

    It might become a routine, so you have enought time to prepare the ingredients for the weekend. Blanc vermouth can also be used, but you would need to lower down the sugar in cocktail and pump up some acidity. It should be good for two weeks. I am glad about the 4. reason. I believe you got better and got used to the style 😉 Cheers!
