Margarita cocktail recipe 

I do the same but add a little agave for sweetness

There’s lots of better Tequila’s than celebrity garbage. I only drink 100% additive free certified. 👍

I like a ¼oz agave and a reposado tequila. I also put my salt in the shaker instead of on the glass

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.

The right way ;)

After two, fall down the stairs and pass out

I'm 100% with you on the agave syrup!

We’re I work we also put some grandmarnier in the margaritas sometimes

​@@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

GIMME TWO MARGARITA IMMA GIVE MY HEAD

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

Thanks Eesha! They’re saved in one of my playlists… and available via QR codes in my book too 👍

Loving all the new recent videoes!

Tommy's margaritas are great!

Thank you 🙏

Many people like to use agave in Margaritas... and they're delicious.. if you also take out the orange liqueur, it's known as a Tommy's Margarita. You should try one :)

@@StevetheBartender_ well would you look at that, it’s 5 o’clock somewhere. I’ll try it out!

Yep at parties U don't wanna wanna make em unless it's just 4 people, get Ur friends shaking , for big parties the blender frozen Marg's, pina coladas is your friend or making punch bowls

It's true, but there are some teaching tips. One is to get your citrus juices ready ahead of time, another is to batch some cocktails.

@@danbrellis thats ok if you know what your making ahead of time and uts just a couple but i never made the same drink twice, everyone wanted to try just about every drink in the book! While kinda fun it isn’t something id want to repeat. Far from being the relaxing outside watching the sunset sipping cocktails with friends experience, it was more like a messy frantic get the cocktails out before everyone gets bored waiting around and maybe get one in myself before they down them and start demanding more kind of fair. In the end it was rum and coke or beer take your pick but I’ve had enough and want to relax and enjoy my night. 😋

Make a pitcher of margaritas then

I started doing pitchers and it saved my life. I did the bartender thing at a party or two and not anymore.

If you like but that’s not a margarita then…

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

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.

Always varies..

You can see that, .. only experience..

Sorry I should have mentioned in my previous reply… always measure your ingredients.. the measurement was displayed on screen.

I have an app that does that exactly. Android = Shake and Strain Cocktails (500 recipes so far). This will soon be released on iOS. iOS = Essential Cocktails (200 curated recipes). Basic features.

A delicious marg too! 😀

Cointreau isn't a liquor lol. This is literally the most basic margarita

@@no-ml4yi some people/countries use the term liquor to identify all spirits / liqueurs.

@@no-ml4yi Contreau is literally orange "liquor" and 40% abv, the same as tequila.

@@jcEstrada liqueur =/= liquor

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.

@@StevetheBartender_ Rocks is the defacto standard in Mexico. If you ask for rocks, they look at your as if you’ve asked for it to be made with tequila. It’s just obvious.

No, it’s not.

Yikes. . .

i'd rather say there are many right ways to make a margarita

Very true!

What about agave..?

Then don't use it 😐

New to cocktails?

@@no-ml4yi you mean am I new to making cocktails?? If 15 years of bartending is new, then yes, I'm new

@michaelsmith841 if you really have 15 years of bartending experience, then you probably should've known the most basic, generic margarita recipe

@@no-ml4yi I know the recipe fam, but it's not 3 oz.......if you know what you are doing you would know that.....

@michaelsmith841 ironic because the proportions in this video ate the standard proportions. It's ok if you don't know how to make a marg dude lol

Never understood why people put ojs in margs

@@no-ml4yi Cointreau is essential in any marg. It’s an orange liquor. Orange juice essentially compliments every ingredient in the margarita. You should try it. Only a splash

@@MK9fam orange liqueur =/= orange juice lol

@@no-ml4yi try Cointreau by itself and tell me that. 🤣 Without orange juice or agave you’re going to have a margarita more bitter than your great aunt Ethel.

Good pickup….. 🫤

A classic Margarita recipe doesn’t include syrup.

You've been drinking crappy sports bars margaritas, haven't you?

There is enough sugar in Cointreau. The classic Margarita is 3 ingredients (tequila, orange liqueur and lime).

@@StevetheBartender_ fair. but here’s mine. 2 blanco, 3/4 coin, 3/4 lime, 1/2 simple :)
