Anytime Cinco de Mayo reaches I’m reminded that springtime will be here along with the weather conditions are warming up. It means it’s time and energy to sit outside, consume a margarita and unwind.

Summer will likely be here before you know it and I’ll be chilling out at my brother’s property, grilling some Carne Asada and whipping up a set of margaritas for family. That’s how we roll in Los Angeles in the summer.

Steps To Make A Timeless MARGARITA

To help make this vintage margarita you’ll need tequila, lime juices and orange liqueur (also called triple sec). Whilst a vintage margarita is pretty easy on its own, I wanted to make simpler the formula further with the easy to bear in mind 2-1-1 proportion.

• 2 ounce of tequila


• 1 oz of lime fruit juice


• 1 oz of orange liqueur

Shake or blend these ingredients with each other then include ice (on the stones). Alternatively, you may triple or quadruple the menu in the mixer and add more ice to possess a frosty margarita too.

What type of tequila should you really use? I employed a reposado tequila which can be older in a barrel 2 months just to beneath a year. Reposado is often deemed the right tequila for margaritas. Two other tequila are joven and aejo. Joven is lighter in weight, aged under reposado and less expensive. When aejo is more dark, aged spanning a year and it is more costly.

You many want to consist of sodium on the edge of your margarita. You can aquire a coarser sea salt on the web or at the grocery or liquor shop. Generously distribute the salt on the dish large enough for your rim of the cup. Have a piece of lime throughout the rim of the cup. Then place the rim within the plate of salt. Dump your timeless margarita in a glass and you’re all set!

Which Orange Liqueur is advisable to use in a Traditional Margarita?

Orange liqueur is basically vodka sweetened with sugar and orange peels. There are numerous brand names on this liqueur in the marketplace, but the most typical companies are Cointreau, Curaao and Grand Marnier.

For this margarita formula I employed Cointreau. It is the most frequently used and finest orange liqueur for margaritas. Another two manufacturers really are a tiny different despite their orange liqueur label.

• Cointreau is regarded as a triple sec liqueur due to its French roots and blend of wonderful and nasty grapefruits.


• Curaao arises from the Dutch Caribbean isle of the same brand and it is considered each a brand and type of orange liqueur. Whilst traditionally rum-structured, Curaao creates a grain edition also. Due to the spectacular roots, the grapefruits for this particular liqueur are nicer which is the reason its not regarded as a triple sec.


• Also, from France, Grand Marnier is known as a triple sec and Curaao crossbreed. Contrary to the prior companies pointed out, its orange flavor is combined with cognac.
