Did you know the margarita originated in the 1930s when it was known as a picador, tequila sour or tequila daisy. Margarita means “daisy” in Spanish, which is the name that stuck in the 1950s. Celebrate NationalMargaritaDay with a Grand Margarita ⬇️
February 22 strikes me as a strange day to celebrate National Margarita Day. To my taste, the thirst-quenching, tequila-based cocktail is best enjoyed on hot summer nights, but for many Canadians the margarita is an all-season drink, whether it’s served on the rocks, frozen or skinny. In that case, today is as good a day as any to celebrate the rise of this increasingly popular mixed drink.
In its classic recipe, a margarita is a shaken mix of tequila, orange liqueur and lime juice, often served in a 2:1:1 ratio. The drink originated in the 1930s when it was known as a picador, tequila sour or tequila daisy. Margarita means “daisy” in Spanish, which is the name that stuck in the 1950s.That deceptively simple formula has spawned many variations.
The choice of orange liqueur will also impact the style of the finished cocktail. The orange liqueur helps balance the zing of the lime juice while contributing orange and other flavours. Using Triple sec or Cointreau plays up the refreshing character of the cocktail, offering subtle orange and spice flavours to the mix. For a richer and more complex margarita, opt for Grand Marnier, which is a blend of cognac and triple sec, that offers bitter orange, spice and brandy notes to your drink.
Salt isn’t just a garnish, it’s a key component. It dials down the bitterness and makes the sweet and sour flavours really shine. I prefer to add a sprinkle of sea salt to the shaker to enhance the cocktail’s flavour. But if you do want to add salt to the rim of your glass, use the technique of this suggested recipe from Grand Marnier and only apply it to half the rim.0.75 oz | freshly squeezed lime juiceFill a wide, shallow dish with 2-3 mm of fine salt.
