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.

    Really incredible margarita variant. Smoky, rich, and sweet.

  • Re Midnight Diplomat, 3 days ago Thompson70 commented:

    Beautiful play on a Vieux Carré. The added Cynar, at the expense of sweet vermouth, adds an earthy, bittersweet depth. Used cherry wood for the smoke and really enjoyed that.

  • Re Ginger Sidecar, 3 days ago lcwareham commented:

    Good, but a little sweet. Try 1 oz cognac and 1 1/4 ginger

  • Re Shinkansenspotter, 4 days ago KateGrossman commented:

    This is great. Be sure to stir with ice to dilute sufficiently. Boozy but also light and soft.

  • Re The Royal Family, 4 days ago Biff Malibu commented:

    Very important to keep an eye on the "Reposado". . .I used a Blanco, and it was not the best choice. A slightly softer Tequila would have been a better move on my part.
