The Margarita, or An Earthy Mystery

Americans drink a lot of Margaritas. While the Margarita makes up eighteen percent of the mixed drinks ordered in the United States, tequila represents only six percent of the domestic spirits market. Unfortunately, we drink a lot of bad Margaritas too. Neon colored, super-sweet, artificially flavored, poorly made, cheap ingredient, frozen-slushy Margaritas surely account for most of those eighteen percent.

Perhaps one reason that Americans drink a lot of bad Margaritas is that we seem to have no idea of its origin. There are theories (among others) that Dallas socialites, Peggy Lee, Mexican (or Irish, or Texan) bartenders, German ambassador’s daughters or Ziegfeld Follies dancers all have a hand in the drink.

  • Re Craft Squirrel Sex Manhattan, 1 hour ago happyrobot commented:

    This is our most sold drink on the list.

  • Re Yokosuka'd, 14 hours 29 minutes ago Shawn C commented:

    Is there a specific reason for shaking this rather than stirring?

  • Re Smoke Gets in Your Agav-eyes, 22 hours ago indyrob commented:

    Tried as original, subbed out agave for orgeat. Muddled a slice of blood orange and like it better this way.

  • Re Pamplemousse au Poivre, 1 day ago Shawn C commented:

    Curated to include Ehrmann's Elixir de Poivre cordial in the notes. I made the cordial using twice as much szechuan peppercorn as called for. It worked very well in this drink, and if anything I might increase the szechuan pepper again to try to capture some of its numbing essence (which was not apparent in the cocktail.) The cocktail was very good and my wife soon requested another. She is not usually a fan of mezcal drinks, so this was high praise.

  • Re Dreaming of Oaxaca, 1 day ago saxophonenerd commented:

    This is a good drink, but needs more acid in my opinion. I tried the recipe as written and then added some lemon juice which I think really helped. I do suggest trying it as written though because I know many of my friends would have really loved it as-is.
