Questions about Margarita
What goes into a classic Margarita?
Shake tequila, orange liqueur and freshly squeezed lime juice with ice; a common starting balance is 2 parts tequila, 1 part liqueur and 1 part lime. Strain into a glass, with a salt rim if you like.
How do you make a Margarita without a cocktail shaker?
Put the ingredients and plenty of ice in a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid, then shake hard for about 15 seconds. Strain through the gap in the lid into a chilled glass.
Should a Margarita be served frozen or on the rocks?
On the rocks, shake it with ice and strain over fresh ice; for a frozen Margarita, blend the ingredients with ice until slushy. Fresh lime juice helps keep either version bright rather than overly sweet.
How do you get salt to stick to a Margarita glass?
Rub a lime wedge around the outside edge of the glass, then dip the damp rim into a shallow plate of coarse salt. For a partial rim, dip only one side so you can choose each sip.
Can you make a Margarita ahead of time?
Mix the tequila, orange liqueur and lime juice without ice, cover and refrigerate for up to a day. Shake each serving with ice just before pouring; ice left in the mix will dilute it.
What can you use instead of orange liqueur in a Margarita?
Use a little agave syrup for sweetness, then add extra lime to keep the drink tart; it will no longer have the orange flavour. For an alcohol-free version, replace the tequila and liqueur with limeade or a mix of lime juice, orange juice and sparkling water.
Is a Margarita the same as a canned tequila sunrise?
No. A Margarita is usually made with tequila, lime and orange liqueur, while a tequila sunrise combines tequila with orange juice and grenadine. The listed Margarita has 110 kcal per 100 g; canned tequila sunrise has 110 kcal.
Does a Margarita provide much vitamin C?
It provides 19.3 mg of vitamin C per 100 g, largely because it contains lime juice. The amount in a glass depends on the recipe and serving size.
