Behind most powerful myths there is a woman. There are many ladies in the origination of the worlds favorite mexican cocktail: The Margarita. Especially a lady named Margaret Sames.In Acapulco. during Christmas 1948. Margaret Sames, a socialite originally from Texas, is hosting a magnificent party in her summer villa.
For this occasion the recipe was invented by her bartender as a surprise novelty for her guests.
Or maybe it was…
In Tijuana. in the late 1930's, Carlos "Danny" Herrera (Don Carlos), a famous bartender, creates the drink for Marjory King, the beautiful and sensual Ziegfeld Follies dancer who excited the crowds on Broadway.
Or maybe…
In Agua Caliente, in the late 1930's. Enrique Bastante Gutierrez invented a new recipe in honor of his friend Margarita Cansino, better known worldwide as Rita Hayworth.
Then again maybe…
The names and places may vary, but the basic ingredients do not vary: there is a beautiful woman, a creative bartender, and an exciting party atmosphere.
May this be the recipe for the best margaritas? The reason why so many tourists are attracted to Puerto Vallarta?
Sure it is, but is not enough.
As every chef, bartender or artist would tell you, simplicity is the most difficult goal to achieve. And margarita cocktail is one of the simpliest cocktails of all.
3:2:1 is the "Magic Margarita Formula"
Tequila: 1 1/2 oz - (3 Half Ounces)
Orange liquor: 1 oz - (2 Half Ounces)
Lime juice: 1/2 oz - (1 Half Ounce)
Then you may go for fruity variations adding mango, strawberry, peach or banana flavors to the drink; you can choose your favorite between many different brands of orange liquors and tequilas, or strain the tradition by replacing tequila with mezcal; you can enjoy it straight up, on the rocks or frozen, but the everlasting secret of this popular drink is in "The Balance", a perfect balance between sweet and sour, much like the recipe of the perfect love story,!
Now:
Sounds like we've reached the point, but not yet. This is not enough. Details are very important.
As Enrique Subizar, the Veracruzan owner of Margarita Grill in Puerto Vallarta, says "the best margarita springs out from fresh ingredients of the best quality: tasty limes, blooming mangos or strawberries ad lib, organic tequila 100% agave distillation. Then, yes! An explosion of coolness and aromas in perfect balance will fill your mouth and your soul!"
Then, of course, a champagne glass with a rim of salt, and the relish is complete.
