Tequila - Tequila is a Mexican cactus spirit from the city
of Tequila. Serve straight, with lemon and salt, or in mixed drinks.
Try this Tequila Sunrise; 1/2 fill a tall glass with ice. Add 30ml
of Tequila. Top up with orange juice and stir. Pour 10ml Grenadine
on top. Garnish with 1/2 slice of orange, a cherry and a straw.
Margarita
1 part lime juice
1 part tequila
1\2 part Triple Sec
Sometimes sugar or a sweet syrup is added, sometimes more tequila. It can be frozen or shaken,
served in a glass with a salt rim (wipe the edge of the glass with a lime slice, then invert it on a napkin
lightly dusted with kosher or sea salt; pick it up quickly to avoid getting too much on it) or garnished with fresh lime.
There is no absolute, perfect recipe, although many bartenders claim theirs is both the original and the best.
The margarita is traditionally served in a stemmed, large, wide-mouth, shallow cocktail glass.
Margaritas may be served frozen as well; run the ingredients through the blender with ice to make a sweet-tart
slushy drink. You can also add other fruit juices or fresh fruit to the blender.
Tequila Sunrise
2 oz Tequila
4 oz Orange juice
2 dashes (3/4 oz) Grenadine
Pour tequila and orange juice in a highball glass. Add ice and stir. Tilt the glass and pour the Grenadine down the side.
The Grenadine should fall to the bottom of the glass, and then rise up slowly. Garnish with an orange slice.
This drink is sometimes stirred gently. |
