The margarita glass is almost as iconic as the margarita itself, thanks to it being used as a vessel for so many different cocktails. And by ice, we mean that we just wanted bigger margaritas. The margarita nails four of those five: the salty rim of the glass, the sweetness of the agave, the bitterness of the tequila, and the sourness of the limes. So when you take a sip of a margarita with salt, you cut the bitterness of the lime and tequila, while heightening the sweetness and sourness.
That citrus flavor from the lime also helps neutralize bitterness, thanks to its high acidity. A classic margarita is made with three things: tequila, lime juice, and agave. That super simple recipe creates lots of scope for variations, like the jalapeno margarita which will actually help cool you down in hot weather , or sweeter takes with fresh berries and herbs.
Although you can taste the tequila flavor, this is a drink that you can sip on and enjoy unlike a shot of tequila. The history of the Margarita is ambiguous, as many people want to take credit for this delicious drink. One origin story is that the margarita was invented by Carlos "Danny" Herrera in Mexico , who made a drink for a dancer who was allergic to most alcohols, except tequila. Another story claims that a bartender, Don Carlos Orozco, was making a drink for this daughter, Margarita, and thus the margarita was created.
There are quite a few more origin stories , but we can't be sure whether any of them are true. No matter the real story, we are grateful this drink was created. Margaritas come in all different flavors and blends. Shake all the ingredients with cracked ice in a cocktail shaker until the exterior frosts.
A slice of lime as a garnish, while not strictly necessary, is a civilized touch. I think the reason these proportions work so well is the way I enjoy a margarita—as an accompaniment to food as opposed to a stand-alone cocktail. Were I to drink margaritas in the same time and place I drank, say, a martini or a Negroni , I would probably prefer a different—possibly more assertive, tequila-forward—mix.
Instead the tequila should be dialed back into harmonious equilibrium with the other ingredients for a more quaffable potion.
