The Skinny Confidential Micromanaged Margarita for Ya

I like tequila and I like margs, so I need to share the particular, micromanaged margarita I all the time make myself AND ask for at eating places.

To preface this case I need to say that I was a bartender. Every time I submit about this cocktail there’s an occasional DM about how I shouldn’t be micromanaging the bartender. (Aspect be aware: I used to be not solely a bartender however I labored within the restaurant trade for 10 years. Began as a hostess after I was 14, went on to cocktailing for 4 years, & then bartended for about 4 years. When individuals used to know what they preferred, it made my job simpler. The truth is, I embraced somebody who knew what they wanted- I thought-about it a problem to sharpen my bartending abilities. Humorous as a result of I really met one among my excellent buddies, Carly, when her husband, Adam, ordered a really particular margarita in a relaxing martini glass- I preferred that they knew what they needed).

So ya, I disagree.

Right here’s the factor: I do know what I need. I’m particular. Simply because I do know what I need doesn’t make me a bitch. Additionally you’ll be able to rely on the truth that I’m all the time form. I say “please” & “thanks” and all the time tip 20% or extra. There’s no impolite micromanaging going on- simply particular instructions for what I like.

Personally, that’s how I imagine you get what you need in life, you understand?

You ask for it.

Direct, straight to the purpose, communication. Kindness is clearly essential however there’s nothing incorrect with realizing EXACTLY what you need.

Anyway, again to the margarita.

This weekend I made these at dwelling & added a splash of POM ( pomegranate juice ) with some recent pomegranate seeds. Nevertheless, THIS is what I ask for after I’m out in town:

THE SKINNY CONFIDENTIAL MICROMANAGED MARGARITA RECIPE:

+ 1.5 ounce blanco tequila
+ 1 ounce of Cointreau ( use Triple Sec if that is unavail )
+ limes
+ somewhat lemon
+ a speck of agave ( a fucking SPECK)
+ possibility: 2 squeezes of a grapefruit and even pomegranates
+ half rim of salt or Tajin

+ use a lime to rim the glass & then add salt to solely half the rim. In a shaker add 3/4 recent lime juice, one squeeze of lemon, then add Cointreau (or Triple Sec), & tequila.

Rule of Thumb: when making a cocktail, begin with the most cost effective elements first & end with the costliest final. Add ice to the shaker final (you don’t need the ice to soften into your elements). Add ice to rimmed glass & shake and pressure your cocktail over the ice. Garnish with a grapefruit slice or lime wedge. Latley I choose a Baccarat glass however the basic blue rimmed glasses are all the time stylish.

Ask for what you need & you shall obtain.

Relaxation assured you’ll be able to ask for this for those who’re at a gap within the wall Mexican bar (my favourite to be trustworthy) or at a 5 star resort. In all my life, nobody has ever turned this micromanaged marg down. THEY MAY EVEN ASK IF THEY CAN HAVE THE OVER-POUR, you understand what I imply?

Scorching Tip: As an alternative of slamming greasy chips, fatty burritos, & sugar-filled, pre-mixed, crappy chemical margaritas down my throat, I’m going for blue corn chips, tacos on corn tortillas or lettuce cups with veggies, Pico de Gallo, & black beans, & this scrumptious MARG.

And for those who’re having fun with Nationwide Margarita day at dwelling you’ve got to attempt Katie’s peach habanero salsa with Siete chips. Chef’s kiss.

That’s it, that’s all. Do you’ve any drinks you’re very particular about? Let me know beneath. And bear in mind, all the time be form.

Cheers,

x, Lauryn
