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.

    I mashed up some fennel seeds with the fresh herbs. Not sure if I achieved much, but it was an interesting, green-tasting drink.

    Any more direction on the infusion?

    It seemed a little weak. We added a 1/2 oz. of St. Germain, and it was better. Also, the soda water isn't doing much--except making the drink weak. We will make it again, keeping the St. Germain, skipping the seltzer, and doubling another strawberry.
