welcome to conman cocktails I'm your host Derrick so more let's talk about
making a margarita with some off-the-shelf margarita mix the first
thing you want to really take into consideration are the base ingredients
of the margarita mixer you're picking up I tend to favor those that I can read
the base ingredients in English and it sounds like normal words that's the way
I roll so that means no high fructose corn syrup no crazy weird chemicals this
sucker here this is Powell in Mahoney crap cocktail mixers looks like it's
going to be filtered water cane sugar lime juice from concentrate citric acid
natural orange extract there's your margarita those are ingredients what
we're going to do to create this is we're going to do 3 ounces of a
margarita mix to one and a half ounces of tequila shake ball serve over rice
the recipes are off and on the back you can reference that or you can kind of
class it up a little bit like we're going to do so first what you're going
to need is some sort of shake or proccess shaker is what I typically use
for cobbler shaker which is a three pinch you could get one of these at
Austin recom it's called the bartender kit or it is fine shape a jigger four
measures you don't have a jigger your break cores use a shot glass these are
usually about two ounces so you can kind of just do the math double your portions
if you want round up do three shots of this stuff and on one shot of that stuff
what's that up tequila for this I'm going to use some Qasimi goes 100 cent
de Gotha if you have Jose Cuervo gold throw it out get yourself some 100%
agave tequila let's make a recipe 3 ounces so that's like this is a 2 ounce
jigger top and the other side is an ounce so that's three cotta amigos
this is represent you can use a Blanco if you'd like I like the little extra
tequila punch to it a little bit of that a gob a flavor so they do that I usually
go with the Reposado because I'm going to kill the lover I
love margaritas ounce and a half we're going to shake it up
crushed ice you beautiful crushed ice if you just have cubes you could use cubes
but let's let's take this the extra mile I don't like salt so what I typically do
is I opt for a partial salt because you don't know if they're going to like salt
or not right so what do you do well first thing I do is I like to line just
the outside that way the salt doesn't get inside and create a salty beverage a
little salt there for those that like the salt optional there we go little
crushed ice for that little baby let's get the good stuff going oh yeah the
Marguerita up there still ready it's warm out you need a summer drink there's
another whole list of playlists of summer drinks a garnish this is a
beautiful mixed margarita let's make it tasty oh I love the Reposado flavor just
bursts in your face this works really well if you're heading over to a buddy's
house and they're like dude let's make margaritas you're like I didn't make the
sour mix I don't have all the stuff and I need a recipe I get yourself a bottle
of sour mix something that's lovely and good and has real flavor to it don't
just buy a big jug of that crap check your ingredients
that's your lesson bartender basics right here check the ingredients on your
products before you use them because good products make good cocktails and
that my friends is a great looking margarita that is how we're going to
teach you today how to drink
