I’ve made EXACTLY the same margarita as Leo for years. Just slowly gravitated to it thru dozens of small tweaks. Including pinch of salt and the dump - Margarita loves it rough - never strain. On a hot summer day to lower the alcohol and up the liquid I may also add 2 oz of fresh grapefruit juice. Kind of a Paloma tweak.
@Aj66602 I thought about that. Maybe 3/4 lime, 1/2 GM, 1/2 agave nectar and 2oz tequila? I'll have to run that past my palate. Thanks for the suggestion.
Margaritas are my absolute favorite. Also, I turn 21 in less than 2 weeks! Finally going to be able to try some cocktails from this channel I’ve been watching for 2 years 😉
Never been to Mexico...."Mouth on floor!" I live in Canada, and I can't get enough of this country, best food, best drinks, best beach feel. I completely agree your version is the way to go!
Is there some sort of marketing or something going on in Canada? Ive noticed a surge of Canadians coming down to Baja in Ensenada and Los Cabos, usually only Americans but now I’ve seen more Canadians lol
I’d liked to try your preferred version. Sounds good. Never had it with Dry curaçao instead of Orange Cointreau. Going to make it for 5 de Mayo. If you haven’t been to Rosarito , your not missing out on anything. Our beaches are just as nice here in L.A. 😁 All 3 versions look great though!👍 Cool video 😎
I've been getting into cocktail making over the last few months, and tried all sorts of margarita recipes before settling with a 2:1:1 ratio for both the classic and Tommy's margaritas. I eventually decided to create my own and changed the Cointreau or agave nectar part to a 50/50 mix of both. I was surprised and impressed to see that not only is that how you like to make them, but according to the comments is most people's preferred variation 🎉
La Gloria is roughly 15 minutes from Tijuana. I went down to TJ solo two years ago looking for some adventure. I ran into the same guys two nights in a row partying on Avenida Revolución. They were super cool and happened to be from La Gloria. They took me out to places I would have never dreamed about going alone. Debauchery ensued. After nearly several brawls and entirely too much tequila and Indio beer, they invited me back to their place. We continued to drink tequila in their front yard, until an intensely red and orange sunrise took over the sky. After a sleepless morning, the guy who owned the home told me he had to go downtown to drop off a cell phone to girl who had left it at his place. I asked to go with him. A garbage truck happened to be driving by. He ran out front with the bottle of tequila and let them swig off of it. He later explained this ensured his garbage would be picked up weekly. We started to walk into downtown. A short while later the garbage truck came down the street we were on. He lets me know we were going to ride on the truck into downtown. To my surprise, with bottle of tequila still in hand, instead of getting in the cab he hopped onto the side of the truck and stuck his hand out for me to get on. I jumped up and held on with one hand while swigging tequila with the other. We were both laughing the whole way. While we bumped along the deeply rutted dirt roads lined with dilapidated houses and barking stray dogs, he turned around and yelled back to me "You wanted an authentic Mexican experience??!! Well this is it!!" This memory will live with me until the day I die. This video knowledged me to the fact that La Gloria and tequila have had a long history together. Thank you
👍 Usually 'Cool story, bro' is a kinda smartass comment that something was long-winded or whatever, but that is seriously a cool story, bro! Making new friends on roadtrip adventures is one of the great things in life... hopefully we will be in a post-pandemic world soon with a lot more fun and fellowship.
I like the second Tommy’ Margarita. Your face is so funny when you shake the shaker which make me laugh. I just started learning making cocktails. Your channel gives me a huge inspiration. Thank you!
Your method is also my preferred version, including the 'shake & dump' technique, with only variation being the use of Reposado and Grand Marnier in place of Blanco and Dry Curacao.
Did you tried doing the margarita with blanco and Reposado or you just always did it with Reposado? I only have Reposado Tequilla and i wunder if I should buy Blanco to try it.
made your fav marg and must say it's my fav too now, not including the deviations where they use fruits, but the little hint of orange from the Cointreau makes it smoother and very dangerous during hot summer days
I'm no bartender but I choose to make the margarita my "signature cocktail" mostly because I don't like the taste of alcohol, lol. Anyway, I make this exact drink using Grand Marnier. NOW after watching this video I know I make a banging drink. Thanks for the inspiration to add another drink to the menu by tackling the old fashioned and then onto a rum based tiki drink. I think 3 cocktails is a good start to my home bar
I love your videos so much because they have taught me a lot about making and perfecting drinks as I'm relatively new to this, but in all honesty my absolute favorite part is the cocktail shake. The sound is just so satisfying to me for some reason 👌
I know I'm a couple years late to this vid, but I've been going down the rabbit hole of margarita recipes recently and stumbled on what I think is a neat variation. It is very similar to the last recipe in this vid, but I use a good repo instead of a blanco and an orange liqueur called Naranja instead of Curacao or the usual trinity (Triple Sec, Cointreau or Grand Marnier). The combination of the repo with the Naranja gives the drink this really neat "smokiness" (best way I can describe it) that you don't get with other recipes. It's definitely a vibe that won't work for everyone but has become my favorite way to make a margarita.
Love your vids. Anyone got suggestion - when you make margarita at home and follow good recipe - its a good but strong and less volume drink compared to when you get it at restaurant. What else can be added to make it still a good but not as strong and more volume - Soda? Sprite? Lemoncello?
I searched for any Marg videos you had just last night so this is perfect! I've been making a 2:1:1 tequila:Cointreau:lime for longer than I've taken cocktail making serious(ly fun) and I realized I still just stir and not shake out of old habit. Going to need to correct and try the variations.
I've made a lot of margs in my time behind the bar. I feel like all of these would be great for different occasions! My preferred actually uses 2oz repo tequila, 1 oz lime, 0.75oz coin, 0.5 agave. Repo and coin over rocks always tastes better to me, but of course it's personal preference. Also fun to float blood orange cordial.
My preference is Tommy’s because it really enhanced the Agave flavor of the Tequila. When I make a classic Marg I do 1 1/2oz Tequil, 1 oz Cointreau, 1/2 oz Lime juice. I think peoples palettes for Margs have changed so they expect an either sweeter or more balanced drink as apposed to dry
Here is Sydney Australia, we have an amazing little bar called Cantina OK. They do the absolutely best margi I’ve EVER had. They split the base 50/50 blanco and mezcal, use a load of lime and orange oil and serve over shaved ice. Amazinggg
It's wonderful to see how far your production has come after watching some of your earlier videos! Great margarita repetoire also, the combo AKA your favourite is a beautiful version! 11/10 would drink!
Just stumbled onto this video and decided to go to the store and make the third version. I'll never buy premade margarita mix again. This is so good. I did a small tweak, years ago we had margaritas made with a float of grand Marnier. So I tried adding it and it gives it a little more citrus kick!
Your preferred marg recipe at the end didn't list the Curaco. Our family's preferred marg is similar, but we use a little Sprite instead of the agave syrup for the extra sweetness. Also adds a little volume, works great.
My take on the Margarita is 60ml blanco tequila, 30ml Cointreau, 15ml lime juice. I shake it with a bunch or regular sized ice cubes and open pour into a highball glass for a sort of semi-crushed ice Margarita.
I enjoy all three of these I was unaware with the agave nectar it was called the Tommy Marg. I definitely usually drink the last one to give a little bit of everything. Cheers!
2 oz Silver tequila 1-1/2 oz Fresh lime juice 1/2 oz dry curaçao Splash of orange juice Shake, strain, enjoy. The splash of OJ adds enough sweetness to replace any syrup or agave without risking cloyingness.
Love the juicer! I'm buying that through your link. How convenient! Your preferred margarita is very close to my preferred margarita, except I use 1 ounce of Cointreau or Dry Curacao, 1/4 ounce of agave, and a pinch of salt in the shaker.
My go to margarita is almost the same as yours. 3/4 oz lime 3/4 oz agave syrup 2 1/2 oz Reposdo tequila 1/2 oz Grand Marnier I call it The World's Best Margarita
Really great video, subscribed! My recipe after 1000's of homemade Margarita's is: 50ml Blanco (Typically use Espolon or El Jimador) 25ml Lime Juice 35ml Cointreau 10ml Agave
Love your style man, generally go for a trad Margarita with Curacao myself in place of Tia Maria (although Grand Marnier is a real treat), with no Agave or syrup (like my cocktails tart rather than sweet) and usually drink up. However if you serving on Rocks I always shake and dump, same with a Daquiri, mainly because I only have limited room in my freezer for Ice but like the ice chips and higher level of dilution. I say up for a pre-dinner drink but on the rocks for an afternoon BBQ
My preferred margarita is almost identical to yours, though I use Triple Sec over curacao, b/c it's what I often have on hand. Freepour into the glass with salt in the tin. I've used repo tequila mostly b/c it's what's usually in the house, but I don't mind blanco either
I like doing 2, 1, 1 for a Margarita...a top shelf Reposado, Grand Marnier, fresh lime juice, and bar spoon of agave nectar or simple syrup; salt only on half the rim.
My preferred recipe is a little bit more other stuff relative to the tequila. 1.5 oz blanco tequila 1 oz triple sec .75 oz lime juice .75 oz simple/agave
My recipe for crowd pleasing margarita is no.1: 4cl tequila 2cl st. germain 3cl lime 5ml vanilla syrup, shake with ice, strain out iceshards, rim is half rim dipped in vanilla syrup and then dipped in crushed maldon salt. no.2: 5cl tequila 2,5 cl cointreau 3cl lime 5ml vanilla syrup, shake with ice, strain out iceshards, rim is full rim dipped in blue curacao syrup and then dipped in crushed maldon salt.
Literally just ordered this juicer, couldn't figure out what it was called. Also - love to see that your preferred is the same as mine, to the tee. I'll sometime switch out curacao for gran marnier to make it a bit sweeter.
Great and enjoyable video! I always loved to do kind of a mixture between a Tommy's and a regular Margarita, so great to see that this ist not an absurd idea but your favorite, too. 😃
Which blanco tequila is that? Also, I think I remember reading in Punch or Imbibe about using a "regal shake" for margaritas, which is essentially throwing a spent lime shell half into the shaker which imparts a little bit more oil and some pithy bitterness. I haven't tried a side-by-side, but an interesting idea.
Yes regal shake is a great technique but didn’t do it here because I have a easy Cocktail Hacks vid coming up where I talk about regal shaking. Coming soon!
I like them all but my personal favorite is 2.0 oz Suerte Blanco 1.0 oz Fresh Lime 0.5 oz Organic Agave Nectar .25 oz Fresh OJ (tames acidity does not at flavor) Pinch Salt Shake No Garnish
Chili Margarita (best ever Margarita I have ever tried) - 85g tequila - 1 lime's juice - 20g Cointreau - 20g Agave Syrup (normal syrup will do) - 2 drops Tabasco sauce - Garnish with green chili slice on top
Try muddling a few slices of jalapeño in the bottom of your shaker tin before you add your ice and other ingredients. Gives a nice kick as long as you don't overly smash the pepper (then it gets a little too vegetable-y). I like to toss in a couple of blackberries, too. Definitely gonna try your hot sauce method next time
@@alejandrogonzales7022 I got the one I mention there from a fancy magazine and I tell you... my wife and I can´t have enough of them. The half green chili sliced transversally is really important as the aroma as it will add that extra kich and goes right to your nose when you sip it. Of course some sea salt on the top. I will try yours with the jalapeños!
The joy on your face when you shake a cocktail is the kind of energy I need to capture in my life. Keep kicking ass!
Pure joy, pure silliness!
Echo that
Was just thinking the same thing! LOVE IT and keep sharing it!!!
Well, he seems to have intentionally 'captured' it himself from Steve The Bartender.
The third recipe card is missing the Dry Curacao
Love the videos, this inspired me to make a margarita tonight!
"Leo's Preferred" is literally the best thing one could drink under the sun. We chain drink these
⭐🍹⭐Margaritas + Fajitas = Pure Joy
Gotta give this video the ol’ likey-poo
Maybe consider a nice little subscribey-pants
That juicer is the star of the show. That thing is awesome.
Ditto. I knew someone was going to comment on it.
Its a present that will get you margaritas for life.
Just don't put it in the dishwasher. I'm stupid and don't read directions...

Working in a bar in Orlando. Definitely subbed this was the perfect blend of informative and interesting. Well played, sir!
Your the man! my favorite cocktail teacher! Thank you so much for all you for making it so easy.
The awkward smile while shaking makes me uncomfortable and laugh at the same time. I'm so confused... But DAMN is that a good margarita!!!
This totally natural smile is creepy af....
looks like he tries to copy the indeed very charming smile of steve the bartender ...
holy crap I need that monstertruck master mega chonk level of a lime destroyer... NEED!
That shake and dump sounds like something "The Dude" would make. I subbed

I respect your decision to use El Tesoro in the Tommy's margarita, well done.
Before you got to #3, I was thinking it'd be good to mix the first 2 recipes and you did it. 👍😲
The way this dude was shaking that Margarita, I thought he was going to start dancing. LOL
You forgot to add the Cointreau to "My Preferred Margarita" recipe
Curaçao you mean
That juicer is pretty badass! Good job on the drinks!
My favorite Margarita version is a tommy's margarita to those specs but with mezcal in place of tequila
I was comment the same thing!! Tommys Mezcal Margarita is one of my all time favourite cocktails!
Tommy's is my favorite also, but never done mezcal. What is a good one?

That’s what we call a Marius Special 😂
wow the editing this time round is top notch
That’s my exact recipe I make. I miss Texas margaritas living in Los Angeles. Gloria’s in Dallas is my fav. I also never double strain.
When you realize there’s actually someone else present in the room with him😂😂😂
Never knew. Was shocked when I heard another voice.

Try muddling a few slices of jalapeño in the bottom of your shaker tin before you add your ice and other ingredients. Gives a nice kick as long as you don't overly smash the pepper (then it gets a little too vegetable-y). I like to toss in a couple of blackberries, too.
Definitely gonna try your hot sauce method next time
@@alejandrogonzales7022 I got the one I mention there from a fancy magazine and I tell you... my wife and I can´t have enough of them. The half green chili sliced transversally is really important as the aroma as it will add that extra kich and goes right to your nose when you sip it. Of course some sea salt on the top. I will try yours with the jalapeños!
I like mine a little milder. I use .5oz lime and .5oz Corona Extra, then 1 to 2 triple sec and blanco.
