MARGARITA

COCKTAIL

By Simon Pinedo

10 | TEQUILA & SPIRITS MAGAZINE

The margarita is one of the most popular cocktails of all time.

La margarita es uno de los cรณcteles mรกs populares de todos los tiempos.

TEQUILAANDSPIRITS.COM | 11

One of the most famous tequila cocktails is without a doubt the Margarita.

Uno de los cócteles más famosos hechos con tequila es sin duda el coctel de Margarita.

Its origin is said to be Mexican, and there are several versions of it.

In all of them, the protagonist is a woman named Margarita, Margaret or Marjorie.

Se dice que su origen es mexicano, y que hay varias versiones de este origen y en todas, la protagonista es una mujer de nombre Margarita, Margaret o Marjorie.

One version says that in 1938 Carlos Herrera, owner of a restaurant named “Rancho la Gloria” located between Tijuana and Rosarito Mexico, made a cocktail for one of his clients, former dancer Ziegfeld Marjorie King, and thus how the Margarita was born.

Una versión dice que en el año de 1938 Carlos Herrera, dueño de un restaurante de nombre “Rancho la Gloria”, situado entre Tijuana y Rosarito México, hizo un coctel para una de sus clientas, la ex bailarina Ziegfeld Marjorie King, y así es como nació la Margarita.

Another version says that Carlos Orozco, bartender at Cantina (bar) Hussong in Ensenada, Mexico, created a cocktail for Margarita Henkel, daughter of the then German ambassador. At the time the young lady entered the establishment, the barman was experimenting with drinks. He offered her the particular cocktail, and because she was the first person to drink it, the barman decided to name it “Margarita.”

Otra versión dice que Carlos Orozco, barman de la Cantina Hussong de Ensenada, México creó un coctel para Margarita Henkel, hija del entonces embajador alemán. En el momento que la señorita entró al establecimiento, el camarero estaba experimentando con bebidas. Le ofrece este coctel, y al ser la primera persona que lo tomó, el camarero decidió ponerle su nombre “Margarita”

A third version says that the Margarita cocktail was invented by Margaret Sames back in 1948. The Dallas high society lady served this cocktail to her guests at her vacation home in Acapulco. One of her guests was Tommy Hilton, owner of the Hilton Hotels. Mr. Hilton would later include this cocktail in the bars of his hotel chain. But apparently this version is not well accepted, because some tequila brands promoted the “Margarita” cocktail three years earlier.

Una tercera versión dice que el Cóctel Margarita lo inventó Margaret Sames, allá por 1948. Esta señora de la alta sociedad de Dallas servía este cóctel para sus huéspedes en su casa de vacaciones en Acapulco.

Uno de sus invitados era Tommy Hilton, propietario de Hoteles Hilton. El Sr. Hilton incluiría posteriormente este cóctel en los bares de su cadena hotelera. Al parecer esta versión no es correcta, puesto que según dicen, algunas marcas de tequila promocionaban el cóctel “Margarita” tres años antes.

12 | TEQUILA & SPIRITS MAGAZINE

Another version reports that in Tijuana, Mexico, a bartender was “captivated” by the beauty of a young dancer named Margarita Carmen Cansino and created this cocktail in her honor. This beauty would later become one of the most famous actresses in Hollywood, Rita Hayworth.

Otra versión cuenta cómo en Tijuana, un barman quedó “prendado” por la belleza de una joven bailarina llamada Margarita Carmen Cansino y crea este cóctel en su honor. Esta belleza se convertiría posteriormente en una de las actrices más famosas de Hollywood, Rita Hayworth.

Francisco “Pancho” Morales is another bartender who is credited with creating this cocktail when he worked at the “Tommy Place Bar” in El Paso, TX in 1942. Many experts believe that he is the true creator of the Margarita.

Francisco “Pancho” Morales es otro barman, al cual se le atribuye la creación de este cóctel cuando en 1942 trabajaba en el “Tommy Place Bar” en El Paso, TX. Muchos expertos creen que es el auténtico creador de este cóctel.

Regardless of its origin, the important thing is that it exists and that we can enjoy it especially during this hot season. We share some original recipes for you to make your own Margaritas.

Independientemente cual haya sido su origen, lo importante es que existe, y ahora podemos disfrutar de ellas, sobre todo durante esta estación de calor. Les compartimos algunas recetas originales para que hagas tus propias Margaritas.

A special thanks to all the tequila brands that submitted their original Margarita recipes.

Un agradecimiento especial a todas las marcas de tequila que nos enviaron sus recetas.

Enjoy.

Disfruten.

oldburger is a white Austrian wine grape grown primarily in the Burgenland region. The grape is a crossing of Orangetraube and Welschriesling and was created in 1922 by Fritz Zweigelt at the HĂśhere Bundeslehranstalt und Bundesamt fĂźr Wein- und Obstbau in Klosterneuburg.

Goldburger is also known under the synonyms Klosterneuburg 16-8 and Orangeriesling

orio Muscat (also known as Morio-Muskat) is a white wine grape that was created by viticulturalist Peter Morio at the Geilweilerhof Institute for Grape Breeding in the Palatinate in 1928. He claimed to have crossed the varieties Silvaner and Pinot blanc, but based on the variety’s properties it has been speculated that he actually crossed Silvaner and Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains.

But so far this speculation has yet to be conclusively proven. The grape is highly aromatic with a “grapey” characteristic reminiscent of Muscat grape varieties.

The grape is rarely used for varietal wines because it requires a high level of ripeness to avoid producing wine with a “mousey” flavor, a coarse texture and overabundance of acidity.

Morio Muscat remains the most popular “Muscat” in Germany, despite the possibility that the grape might not be a member of the Muscat family. The grape was used extensively in Germany in the 1970s as a blending companion to Müller-Thurgau to enhance the aroma of the latter, but has been in steep decline in recent years.

raminer is an aromatic wine grape variety, used in white wines, and performs best in cooler climates.

cheurebe or Sämling 88 is a white wine grape variety.

It is primarily grown in Germany and Austria, where it often is called Sämling 88, and some parts of the New World. Scheurebe wines are highly aromatic, and the variety is often used for sweet wines, although dry Scheurebe wines have become more common in Germany.

arménère grape is a wine grape variety originally planted in the Médoc region of Bordeaux, France, where it was used to produce deep red wines and occasionally used for blending purposes in the same manner as Petit Verdot.

A member of the Cabernet family of grapes, the name “Carménère” originates from the French word for crimson (carmin) which refers to the brilliant crimson colour of the autumn foliage prior to leaf-fall. The grape is also known as Grande Vidure, a historic Bordeaux synonym.

COGNAC DRINK TO

HISTORY 30 | TEQUILA & SPIRITS MAGAZINE

Cognac is a variety of brandy named after the commune of Cognac, France.

TEQUILAANDSPIRITS.COM | 31

Cognac is a variety of brandy named after the commune of Cognac, France. It is produced in the surrounding wine-growing region in the departments of Charente and CharenteMaritime.

Cognac production falls under French appellation d’origine contrôlée designation, with production methods and naming required to meet certain legal requirements. Among the specified grapes, Ugni blanc, known locally as Saint-Emilion, is most widely used. The brandy must be twice distilled in copper pot stills and aged at least two years in French oak barrels from Limousin or Tronçais.

Cognac matures in the same way as whiskies and wines barrel age, and most cognacs spend considerably longer “on the wood” than the minimum legal requirement.

Cognac is a type of brandy, and after the distillation and during the aging process, is also called eau de vie. It is produced by twice distilling white wines produced in any of the designated growing regions.

32 | TEQUILA & SPIRITS MAGAZINE

The white wine used in making cognac is very dry, acidic, and thin. Though it has been characterized as “virtually undrinkable”, it is excellent for distillation and aging.

It may be made only from a strict list of grape varieties. For it to be considered a true cru, the wine must be at least 90% Ugni blanc (known in Italy as Trebbiano), Folle blanche and Colombard, while up to 10% of the grapes used can be Folignan, Jurançon blanc, Meslier St-François (also called Blanc Ramé), Sélect, Montils, or Sémillon. Cognacs which are not to carry the name of a cru are freer in the allowed grape varieties, needing at least 90% Colombard, Folle blanche, Jurançon blanc, Meslier Saint-François, Montils, Sémillon, or Ugni blanc, and up to 10% Folignan or Sélect.

Once distillation is complete, it must be aged in Limousin oak casks for at least two years before it can be sold to the public. It is typically put into casks at an alcohol by volume strength around 70%.

The age of the cognac is calculated as that of the youngest component used in the blend.

The blend is usually of different ages and (in the case of the larger and more commercial producers) from different local areas.

As the cognac interacts with the oak barrel and the air, it evaporates at the rate of about 3% each year, slowly losing both alcohol and water. This phenomenon is called locally la part des anges, or “the angels’ share”. When more than ten years pass in the oak barrel, the cognac’s alcohol content decreases to 40% in volume. The cognac is then transferred to “large glass bottles called bonbonnes”, then stored for future “blending.” Since oak barrels stop contributing to flavor after four or five decades, longer aging periods may not be beneficial.

This blending, or marriage, of different eaux de vie is important to obtain a complexity of flavours absent from an eau de vie from a single distillery or vineyard. Each cognac house has a master taster (maître de chai), who is responsible for blending the spirits, so that cognac produced by a company will have a consistent house style and quality.

TEQUILAANDSPIRITS.COM | 33

34 | TEQUILA & SPIRITS MAGAZINE

In this respect, it is similar to the process of blending whisky or non-vintage Champagne to achieve a consistent brand flavor. A very small number of producers, such as Guillon Painturaud and Moyet, do not blend their final product from different ages of eaux de vie, so produce a â&#x20AC;&#x153;purerâ&#x20AC;? flavour. Hundreds of vineyards in the Cognac AOC region sell their own cognac. These are likewise blended from the eaux de vie of different years, but they are single-vineyard cognacs, varying slightly from year to year and according to the taste of the producer, hence lacking some of the predictability of the better-known commercial products. Depending on their success in marketing, small producers may sell a larger or smaller proportion of their product to individual buyers, wine dealers, bars and restaurants, the remainder being acquired by larger cognac houses for blending.

THE RISING DEMAND FOR GLOBAL WHISK(E)Y EDUCATION In recent years, innovation has been a driving force in the global spirits market, with a particularly strong focus on the whisky category. From its rich history and diverse production methods to its vast array of styles, it opens the door to a world of exploration and discovery like none other.

Broader demographics, emerging markets, and dynamic consumer trends have opened the door to a large number of new opportunities.

The versatility that whisky encompasses has led to a more knowledgeable and sophisticated consumer. Learning about and understanding its complexity has become a fundamental part of the whisky drinking experience. Not only do consumers and professionals want to learn more, but they are excited to share their knowledge and information with other likeminded individuals. This has raised the bar significantly for distilleries, retailers, and the hospitality industry worldwide as it relates to their internal educational standards and level of expertise.

The beverage industry is filled with credible educational opportunities for this purpose, each offering structured programs with the primary goal of enhancing the industry as a whole, through education. Respected institutions such as the Society of Wine Educators and the WSET offer certification programs designed for wine and the wider world of spirits.

40 | TEQUILA & SPIRITS MAGAZINE

There are, however, very few programs specifically designed for, and dedicated to whisky. The Council of Whiskey Masters is one of the organizations dedicated to bridging this gap in the market. The Council is U.S. education and certification body for whisk(e)y expertise, based in Los Angeles, and specifically established to define and uphold an elevated set of standards among sommeliers and spirits professionals, and to offer credible certifications in the field of whisky that are equivalent to the wellestablished credentials in the world of wine.

The 4-level study & certification program can be taken from anywhere in the world, and is based on a rigorous theoretical curriculum that necessitates intensive study and dedication.

Starting with Level 1, students can decide to initially focus on either Scotch or Bourbon to fundamental competence on either whisky type. Candidates who pass a 100 question online exam either receive the title Certified Scotch Professional (CSP) or Certified Bourbon Professional (CBP).

Graduates from Level 1 may decide to integrate their base knowledge with the wider world of whisky essentials including and exceeding both Scotch and Bourbon content, and they sit for the Level 2 exam leading to the Certified Whisky Specialist (CWS) diploma. Level 1 and Level 2 are both based on distance study and rigorous multiple-choice exams that can be taken anywhere in the world in a controlled online environment.

Taking the next step to mastery leads through Level 3, the respected and rare “Master of Scotch” (SM) designation. This level requires detailed competence in the various classical Scotch producers, which must be demonstrated by the passing of a practical exam, conducted either in Kentucky or Scotland and is based on the blind tasting of 36 different scotches.

Those who earn the title of Master of Scotch can then decide to expand their mastery to the global level of whisky, including all other important whisky types. This Level 4 success, to earn the “Master of Whisky” (WM) title, will be demonstrated in another 2-day exam covering 36 global whiskies tasted blind while also passing an oral theory examination, covering the greatest spirit on earth comprehensively.

Since the Council’s 2019 program launch, hundreds of students from more than 20 countries have enrolled and successfully passed the Level 1 Scotch and Bourbon designations, with an average pass rate of approximately 75%.

The Council’s efforts are greatly supported by an Advisory Board comprising 25+ of the most respected authorities in whisky, collectively sharing a vision of creating a strong foundation for whisky education worldwide.

As the global whisky market continues to evolve every corner of the world, comprehensive and well structured educational programs will become more important than ever. Ensuring that the market is equipped with the most accurate and relevant information will be vital to the growth and success of the overall industry. Whisky professionals with a distinguished and globally recognized credential will hold a supreme position in the market as they continue to educate consumers worldwide, and create an elevated level of respect and appreciation for the world’s finest spirit.

MAKE HAPPY HOUR EVEN HAPPIER The most common margarita makers have a compartment for ice and work by shaving it into a jar that the user pre-fills with their desired drink mixture. Once the shaved ice dispenses into the jar, it’s blended with the drink mixture.

Of course, you can use a blender if another bulky machine doesn’t suit your budget or space, but there’s no doubt a frozen drink machine makes a fun addition to any celebration.

Home Bar by Keurig

Drinkworks Home Bar By Keurig, Drink Maker, Brews Wine, Cider, Beer, and Mixes Cocktails, Pods Sold Seperately, Black.

This new and innovative machine churns out delicious margaritas, plus a host of other mixed drinks. There’s little fuss in prep work, since all of the ingredients you need to make a drink are located in pods (similar to a traditional Keurig), with the exception of water, which is located in the water canister. Results are impressive, too. Our tester touted her drink as one of the best margaritas she’s ever had.

Frozen Beverage Station

This dedicated frozen drink machine has a far more approachable price tag than many other models, but still features dual-functionality to adjust the consistency of your drink. Use the snow setting for a smoother, creamier margarita; use the slush setting for a thicker, icier treat.

Key West Frozen Concoction Maker

A separate extra-large ice reservoir (it holds enough to make up to 2.5 pitchers!) shaves ice, not crushes it the way a blender does. This ensures frozen drinks have the same creamy, homogenous texture as the beverages at your local watering hole. Just choose serving size â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from one to three drinks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the pre-programmed cycle does the rest.

46 | TEQUILA & SPIRITS MAGAZINE

Blender/Food Processor

When space is at a premium, opt for this blender over a traditional margarita maker. “A highpowered blender is ... able to crush through ice evenly and efficiently,” says Papantoniou. In mere seconds, the powerful motor crushes ice to a smooth consistency that’s perfect for frozen drinks. But that’s not all this machine does — it also minces, dices, chops, and purees all types of food, smoothies, and drinks.

Tahiti Frozen Concoction Maker

For the perennial hostess, a margarita maker capable of making three separate frozen drinks (a total of 72 ounces!) in a single cycle. Simply fill each pitcher with the appropriate ingredients, start the machine, and watch as the rotating ice chute sends premium shaved ice spinning into each canister, blending each concoction to perfection.

TEQUILAANDSPIRITS.COM | 47

Premium Cocktails on Demand

This cocktail maker allows you to customize the alcohol. Pods contain just mixers and instead of a single water canister, the machine houses four tempered glass bottles that hold up to four preferred base spirits — whiskey, vodka, rum, gin, or tequila— and water. All you have to do is pop in a pod, select your drink strength, and press mix.

Freezeable Cocktail Maker

For on the go fun, a portable margarita maker that doesn’t require any electricity or batteries. It’s great for the beach or a picnic in the park — just pre-mix the ingredients and freeze.

TEQUILA BLANCO Expression Blanco (white) also known as Silver, Plata: Blanco tequila is either un-aged or slightly aged (less than two months) in stainless steel or neutral oak barrels. It’s clear, and according to aficionados, represents “the purest taste of agave.”

TEQUILA IS MADE FROM BLUE AGAVE Real tequila is made from a plant called Blue Agave. Only the Agave Azul Tequilana Weber variety can be used for tequila.

Classified by German botanist F. Weber in 1905, Blue Agave is commonly mistaken for a cactus, but it’s really a relative of the lily (amaryllis) family. Blue Agave is sometimes known as maguey, mexic, pita and teometl.

The best way to drink tequila!

The best way to drink tequila is exactly the way you prefer to drink tequila. There’s no wrong way, and it depends on the type of tequila you’re drinking. Some of the best tequilas are as enjoyable neat, and slowly sipped, as the finest whiskies and rums.

Some people like taking tequila shots with lime and salt though it can be argued that’s an amateur move.

The name of this dish originated in the state of Sinaloa and comes from two words: agua (water) and chile (chili), hence aguachile. It is said that in Sinaloa the food was prepared by boiling water and adding chili from the region as well as meat or machaca. When this dish reached the coasts, instead of meat they added shrimp and thus how the traditional shrimp aguachile came to be.

Nowadays, its preparation varies, but the main ingredients in a good aguachile consist of the combination of limes, chiltepin chili, sliced onion, salt,s and cucumbers.

El nombre de este platillo tiene su origen en el Estado de Sinaloa, y proviene del conjunto de dos palabras: agua y chile ( de ahí aguachile). Se dice que en Sinaloa se preparaba una comida cuya preparación consistía en hervir agua, y luego se le agregaba chile de la región y después carne o machaca: cuando este estilo de comida fue llegando a las costas, en lugar de carne le pusieron algo muy típico de ahí, le pusieron camarones, y así fue cómo surgió el ahora tan tradicional aguachile de camarón.

La preparación fue variando, hoy en día aunque existen muchos estilos y formas de preparar el aguachile. La característica de un buen aguachile es la combinación del limon, chile chiltepín, cebolla fileteada, sal y pepinos.

One of the fundamental ingredients is chile chiltepin, which is very spicy. However, because this chili is originally from the north side of the country, and it is difficult to obtain in the central and southern part of the country, the aguachile dish is also prepared with habanero chile, serrano, or chile de arbol, among others.

Uno de los ingredientes fundamentales es el Chile chiltepin, el cual es muy picante, no obstante, ya que este chile es originario del norte y es difícil conseguirlo en la zona centro y sur del país, podemos encontrar variedades de este platillo con chile habanero, serrano, chile de árbol, entre otros.

There are also different sauce variations of aguachiles, such as red and green, among others. And finally, it should not lack the flavor of tequila or mezcal that intensify the traditional flavors of the recipe!

Existen diferentes tipos de aguachiles; los hay rojos, verdes y con un sinfín de variantes, y en algunos casos que no le falte el sabor del tequila o mezcal que intensifican los sabores tradicionales de la receta.
