The Margarita has long been America's favorite cocktail - for good reason. Chilled, on the rocks, or blended into a frozen delight, it's a deliciously fun and festive libation, reminiscent of sunny days and tropical locales. The best part is that they are so easy to mix up when you have all the right tools in hand.
For those who want to whip up a batch from scratch, Caroline Pardilla's Margarita Time is the place to start. She showcases beloved, straightforward versions of the margarita as well as elevated, approachable, and crafty riffs created by established bartenders from revered bars and restaurants. Recipes include the Frozen Melon Margarita, Oaxacan Sunset, and Mexican Martini, just to name a few. With a history of the drink's origins, as well as guidance on ingredients to buy and suggested bottles for stocking the home margarita bar, this tome is a must have for the tequila, mezcal, or margarita lover in your life. We've included a handy lime press to make the squeezing easier - and fast.
If you're looking for a quick fix for Margarita Monday, El Guapo has you covered. Their Black Lime Margarita Mixer can be made by the pitcher or the glass - just shake with tequila and enjoy over ice or combine with club soda for a non-alcoholic margarita alternative. They've partnered with our friends at Burlap & Barrel, purveyors of single origin spices sourced directly from small farms around the world, to source Black Lime Powder. A versatile ingredient common in Persian cooking, the powder is made when fresh limes are sun-dried and then ground into delicious, tiny black flecks. They've manufactured this mixer to include tiny flecks in every sip. We've included a set of crystal Margarita glasses. Classic and beautiful, they are downright gorgeous when filled with 12 ounces of your favorite 'rita, coated with BlueHenry Lime Rimming Salt, and garnished with a crispy lime slice. Margarita peanuts are the perfect nosh — spicy and addictive, you'll want more than just a handful.
A sip of sunshine, no matter what the weather! Because life is too short to drink boring cocktails.
