How To Make Great Margaritas – Classic Tequila Cocktails Plus

Margaritas Are Tequila Sidecars - Some Sidetracked Along The Way
A classic margarita cocktail substitutes tequila for the brandy and lime juice for the lemon in a vintage Sidecar drink recipe. Both are timeless tipples.
However, the margarita seems to have followed in the footsteps of the flavored martini craze or vice versa. Hard to keep it real when you throw just about anything into a frozen slushie and call it good. See 29 crazy margarita flavors you need to try. Or not. Some look pretty questionable.
Sort of reminds you of the movie airplane when Lloyd Bridges who plays the stressed out air traffic controller Steve McCroskey* hands his control room co-worker Johnny a map and asks him what he can make of it. Well, I can make a hat; I can make a broach; I can make a pterodactyl!
I Love You Man
Margaritas are consistently listed as a top 10 drink in various voting polls and surveys, but which one. Maybe its all the different recipe variations that help to move it up the list. Tequila is the national liquor of Mexico and the Margarita is the most popular tequila drink in the U.S. as well as the signature cocktail of Cinco de Mayo celebrations, so that scores points too.
Margarita's Missing Past
With tequila, along with perhaps absinthe, having earned special reputations for clouding judgment and fuzzy memories, it should come as no surprise that the origins of the Margarita are a bit of a mystery. Although that's the case surrounding the history of many cocktails, so maybe its just the alcohol period.
Look around for answers and and you'll find titles like “The Truth About the Margarita; Where did one of the world's great cocktails come from?” and “Once upon a time in Mexico; The origin of the Margarita” which would lead you to believe otherwise. Unfortunately, the truths are not self-evident. Rather, a collection of speculation, theories and opinions are presented with no supported conclusion.
One interesting story, which seems like perfect “made for Hollywood” cocktail lore, credits a wealthy Dallas, TX socialite named Margaret 'Margarita' Sames with inventing the drink in 1948. Known for throwing large parties with her husband in their Acapulco, Mexico vacation home, she is said to have created the Margarita recipe to be able to host movie stars and other famous guests with something special.

Margaritas In The Movies
While many of the most popular drinks have played central roles as cocktails in cinema, the Margarita is notably absent. The 1998 film Practical Magic starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman doesn't really do it justice, but the 2005 movie The Matador starring Pierce Brosnan as Julian Noble and Greg Kinnear as Danny Wright has a great quote from their scene in a hotel bar shown above.
Margaritas always taste better in Mexico.

Timeline
1930 - Pedro Chicote publishes what appears to be the first Margarita cocktail recipe in print, but its NOT the modern formulation everybody loves and now associates with this drink. His was a mixture of gin, Italian vermouth, red curaçao and Grand Marnier which is similar to the Ampersand, Leap Year, Yellow Daisy, Claridge, Satan's Whiskers and Bijou cocktails.†
1935 - the Turf Bar in Tijuana, Mexico advertises itself as the “Home of and Originators of the Famous Tequila Daisy.” ‡
1936 - Moville, Iowa newspaper editor James Graham recounts his visit to the Turf Bar and was told the Tequila Daisy wasn't actually invented there but mixed by accident after the wrong bottle was grabbed and used in the pour. Note: the Brandy Daisy was a popular drink back then and substituting tequila made it similar to the Margarita, which by the way means 'daisy' in Spanish.
1937 - the Picador cocktail debuts with tequila, Cointreau and lemon or lime juice which is basically a Margarita minus the salt.1
1945 - Jose Cuervo launches its first ever United States advertising campaign with the slogan "Margarita: It’s more than a girl’s name." 2-4
1953 - Esquire Magazine names the Margarita the "Drink of the Month" in December.5
How To Make A Real Margarita
Classic Margarita Recipe:
2 oz tequila
1 oz orange liqueur
1 oz lime juice
lime wedges for garnish
Pour into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Shake well and strain into a chilled glass. For a real classic Margarita, its just these three ingredients along with an optionally salted rim and cubed or crushed ice if desired as well. Garnish with lime.
Margaritas mixed by the batch and poured from polar pitchers are perfect for parties.
Celebrate The Day!
National Margarita Day is February 22nd each year and these are easy drinks for home bar owners to make and great to have on your themed party menu. Make the real recipe, add a spicy twist with the MargaDita or try some of the others, but do yourself a favor and prepare with fresh ingredients rather than mixes when time allows and you'll taste the difference. They're really good and worth the extra effort.

pete_wells: DavidWondrich I've always thought its job was to tone down the gin. It's a smoother drink than it would be with all gin.

You Can Make a Daiquiri (or any Sour) Without Simple Syrup
Back at the beginning of the pandemic, beverage writer David Wondrich did us all a huge favor by tweeting a “Drink of the Day,” live from his kitchen with “who-gives-a-shit home photography and old-person threading skills.” The series is delightful, but I had largely forgotten about it because I don’t drink all that… Read more…
