We are getting out the blender and taking a look at frozen margaritas. Don't let the appearance fool you, these drinks pack a punch as I found out while shooting.
We used a lot of different tequilas in this episode and you can find most of them over at Curiada - bit.ly/shoptequilandmorehere - they have lots of free shipping deals going on right now so its a good time to restock your bar.

PSA: If you’ve ever tried to recreate your favorite restaurant’s margarita and failed, try making it again with aged lime juice. Juicing your limes in the morning or day before gives the juice a much more “matured” lime flavor that you’ll find in almost every hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant with dynamite margs. This is more noticeable on the rocks, but still worth doing for frozen margaritas.

@@MrHamglove"Super juice" is a term coined by Kevin Kos (who has the best video on it) for a method to get the most juice out of a citrus fruit by soaking the zest in citric acid to draw out the essential oils and then blending and straining out the solids.

My father discovered Jimmy in the late 70s and fell in love. I’ve been a Parrothead all of my life. Back in the 80’s, he traveled to Key West to the original Margaritaville where it was barely a souvineer stand and purchased a postcard that I still have in my possession to this day. On that card is a “treasure map” style illustration describing Jimmy Buffet’s perfect margarita. It is the same recipe as what you made (except he explicitly says it needs to be on the rocks). You skipped the extra 1/2 oz of Cuervo white per drink that is added “for that extra bite”. It increases the tequilla taste, but still leaves it incredibly drinkable and very strong. My parents made them at their wedding celebration and got my grandmother absolutely trashed off only a few. This is how I’ve made margs all my life and will continue to do so.

Unrelated, but not totally… Hemingway daiquiri works really well in the frozen style, especially since it’s quite boozy and sharp to begin with as well containing a good amount of sweetness from the maraschino liqueur. Blending with ice almost just turns into a normal measured daiquiri, so balances really well.

The very best margaritas I ever had was waaaaay back in the early 80's. It was a standard silver tequila with roses and triple sec but instead of ice, they used frozen honeydew melon and sugared the rim. It was almost a smoothie, like that last one your made, and it was served in what looks like a short hurricane glass.

@Chzydawg Жыл бұрын

I bought a vitamix blender a couple years back as a way to make tasty, healthy and filling smoothies to help lose weight. Nowadays though, it’s almost exclusively a “I want a drink, but don’t want to expend effort” cocktail maker. I have heard you can get a muddling jug that has a blunt blade so instead of blitzing it just crushes…might be the go for mojito weather.. I’ve made my fair show of frozen margs, and in my opinion the best way to make them is to lose all self control and over pour everything, forget expensive ingredients, basic tequila is your friend. Fresh lime juice, half decent tequila, cointreau and possibly simple syrup if you’re a simpleton. Fill the blender with ice at least half way, start with a reasonable 2-3x recipe and then season with the “accoutrements” until you reach the desired flavour. Its not classy, but it is effective. Same method works wonders with every frozen cocktail delight, the only one I would hasten caution with is the Hemingway daiquiri and that’s because all self control was lost when making the standard recipe, that when you incorporate blitzing with ice it almost returns it to some reincarnated delight of a regular frozen daiquiri experience.

For what its worth, the beergarita is really texturally different when done with a margarita from a slushy machine. I think you need the sugary density of the slushy marg vs the blended ice marg you made, it shouldn’t separate in the way your blended one did. Would love to see an episode on the slush machines, there’s a whole sugar content calculation to get the texture right.

The Squirt Paloma -- how it's actually consumed in Mexico -- is pretty great and is my wife and my preferred alternative to a rum and Coke when we want a quick weeknight drink. I never see anyone acknowledging it on cocktail KZfaq, so thanks for that. I think everyone should try it the "real" way instead of just going for the "elevated" ones that a lot of cocktail books push -- it may be the Mexicans know a little something about tequila!

31:36 Gotta catch them all. Don't know enough about Pokemon to know if a "Drinks of Pokemon" episode would work at all, but that line had me going back in time. I appreciate the little pop culture nuggets, intentional or otherwise, in these episodes. Also, I didn't count the amount of ice cubes used in this episode but damn...He used all of the ice!!!

I sometimes think back to your displeasure at the beer margarita back in your beer cocktails video and laugh.

The other night I made a drink that is definitely closer to a juice shake than a margarita. I just used some frozen syrup sludge from a can of limeade concentrate and pretended that it was ice, simple syrup, and lime juice in correct enough proportions. Besides that I just used some tequila and an egg white to give it a nice silky texture. For a 3 ingredient 20 second cocktail without a blender, I highly reccomend.

Gonna try some of these later. Like what you did with the grapefruit, I might try freezing lime/lemon juice in the same way.

The Paloma sound like a mix between a margarita and a greyhound!

The place I work at sells beer ritas, and those bottles are a *pain in the ass!* We're usually pretty busy, so we're bringing glasses like those 3 or more at a time, and the bottles shift around as you move and make it really hard not to spill.

So surprised to see Greg get hammered almost immediately, especially after the matrix where he seemed to hold hid own for a while.

I tried making the lime cordial from your Gimlet video but instead made a lime olereo sacrum the day before and used that as the sugar for the cordial and it came out pretty good. Similar to that like syrup I imagine.

It also made it come out closer to the colour of roses
