Welcome back to Booze On The Rocks, where we make cocktails for everyone.
My name is David Edwards, and it's great to have you here today.
We're going to make a Margarita Italian.
Now you might be asking yourself self, how do you make a margarita Italian?
Because a Margarita is from Mexico, right?
Well, the Italian version of the market.
Actually contained one of Italy's most famous Lil cures in that case, it's
amaretto, which is an olive luckier.
Now I'm going to be using some Disaronno for that.
And this is going to give us a unique and interesting sweetness
and a great almondy taste.
So let's see.
Now, this is a simple five ingredient cocktail that has some really interesting
citrus notes, but before we get started, grab your rocks glass, and then grab a
line because we're going to dress the rim with our salt, but we're only going to
rim half the glass with salt, and we'll do that by cutting our line in half.
And then we'll, we'll do use that lime to wet half of the edge, and then
dip that half of the edge in salt.
All right.
And now that you've done that, it looks fantastic.
You can throw your salt off to the side.
Now, one of the reasons why you only want to run half the glass of, because
not everybody you're making a cocktail for wants a salt room under glass,
so that gives them some options.
Plus you might find a cocktail, tastes better with the salt or without the.
And that becomes totally up to you and your personal preference.
So what we're going to do now is grab our shaking glass.
And what we're going to do is we are going to squeeze after we sourced some
stuff over one ounce of lime juice.
Absolutely fantastic.
So what we're going to do now is just throw this off to the side and.
Keep your squeezer, because we're going to need it.
Now, this does require three ounces or 90 milliliters of orange juice.
However, what I have is a bunch of little Mandarin clementines here, and we need
probably three, maybe four of these, and we'll just squeeze those fresh.
But again, you're looking at three ounces, which is 90 milliliters of all things.
And.
These are great.
Now, one of the things that this highlights is the fact that you can use
whatever type of orange that you want to best get the flavor that you have, right?
Because your cocktail, your flavors, whoa.
That was close and, uh, such as life, right.
And then just dump it into the glass.
So
now orange juice is fantastic, but you have to be careful that sometimes it
will overtake a cocktail, but we fully expect it to have a nice orange flavor.
So the next item that we're going to use is a little bit of a Gavi syrup.
And we're going to use this to add a little bit of sweetness, but if you don't
have any of this and you could use a simple syrup or even a little bit of a.
Maple syrup.
You just have to remember that the Gavi syrup and maple syrup is twice
as sweet as a simple service and we'll use five mils or one burst.
Boom.
Oh, I'm really looking forward to this.
So just throw your spoon in there, give it a bit of a swizzle back and forth
just because you want to clean as much of the, uh, syrup into the drink as you can.
Grab your silver tequila choice.
In this case, I'm using Tara mana tequila, and you want something
that it's a 100% blue Gavi tequila.
It'll give you a better flavor, but use what you have, what you
can get and what you really like.
And we're going to start with.
One ounce or 30 milliliters.
Next, what we're going to do is add the Italian in this case,
I'll pick that little plater.
Uh, what we'll do is we will grab our Disaronno.
Now this is an Italian.
Almond lecture.
Absolutely fantastic.
It has a little bit of inherent sweetness as well.
And we're going to add the same one ounce or 30 milliliters.
Awesome.
It can't go wrong with a little bit of Emirate and the cure.
Now, what we are going to do is we're going to shake us and we'll shake
it for 10 to 15 seconds, hard with a full glass of ice, because you
want to make sure you get enough.
The daily dilution, uh, dilution.
That's right anyways flip.
And just take it with a smile.
Yeah.
Pop that off with the strengths of a thousand lines and little clementines.
Throw that off to the side.
Like, so now what we're going to do is add this into our rocks glass.
We'll add some fresh ice.
Just because you know what you want it to look absolutely fantastic.
Right?
Yeah.
You know what,
close enough.
Anyway, having said that, the other thing that we're going to do is we're going to
find strain is to make sure we get it, any of the pulp from the orange or the lime.
However, if you want the pulp, don't posit a fine strain totally up to you.
Oh, look at that.
Absolutely fantastic looking, but let's garnish this with a little bit of a lime
wedge and we'll toss that on just like, so let's give it a try immediately.
You get some slight hints of tequila, some nice orange citrus and a little bit of.
Oh, very, very good.
It's got that sweetness of the orange, the oranges there, but
it doesn't take over everything.
You get those slight hints of the almond liquor.
The tequila just floats in there very, very nicely.
In fact, the tequila is very, very lightened district.
What I will do is I'll put ingredients and a method of how to make this down
into the description down for you.
