Cannot agree more. Wonder if Chef john likes El Presidentes...
YES!!!
Doesn't even need tails, I'd settle for more just cock videos from Chef John.
*SHAZAM* phrasing
Yes!!
A couple of those ritas, the chips, guac and salsa- what I call dinner about twice a week... Thanks Chef John for being civilized!
*🍹You are after all the Senorita of your Margarita.🤣*
Winner!!
Yeah, you win.
*Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner!🤤*
...that's all I kept thinking when I was reading your comments. lol 😜
Yesssssd
You are, after all, gonna have diarrhoea if you drink too much tequila.
FINALLY a vegetarian recipe.
Megab Miller lol
Megab Miller its also vegan friendly...
Not quite, tequila comes from Cows 🐄. Sorry
I didn’t know margaritas weren’t vegetarian. I’m glad they went with the non meat tequila
@@mattaytoun331 neither did i, however i think that a few recipes add egg whites in their margaritas.
freshly 👏 squeezed 👏
Me: chef John said you need to use fresh ice cube to make a perfect margarita
My friend: oh... But I always use the frozen one
.................
Perfect! I need a celebratory drink! We just bought a house and I’m in the mood for an adult drink! 😀YAY!
Tanya congratulations!
Topher S THANK YOU! 😊
Nice! Congrats
Congratulations!!
😁😁😁
Hey Chef John, please do more cocktail recipes as I'd love to see what you can come with!! :)
You are my guru, Chef John. I now cook for my wife and our guests with confidence because of you. Thank you.
Confidence in the kitchen is such a good thing.
Delicious and *perfect* margarita.
I tried a few, and it is a truth serum. I made it exactly as you showed us, and truthfully… wow! This is a keeper, thank you!
Oh, yeah! I know a nice bottle of Cointreau when I see it! I have one just like it in our bar! The kids are in bed. My husband watched the intro with me, then headed into the kitchen to make us a nice batch (with limes from our tree). Good man, Chef John! Good man! Oh, and tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo. There's your excuse if you need one. 😊
I never get tired of your videos. Thanks
Just tried it and it's very good!
Please more cocktail videos please please please!!
How can you not love Chef John
I was excited about the cocktail already but when you placed in front of the nachos with guacamole and salsa... GOSH! I started to drool. lol
I don't consider myself a foodie by any measure but can't get enough of your videos! Only chef I follow on YT! Would be happy to add this to list of cocktails I make that's currently only housing mojitos and then Cuba libre when I run out of lime
I'm amazed you didn't mix a bit of cayenne with the salt! Maybe next time.
Suzanne Baruch omg trueeeee
Aka tajin
Lol I think cayenne might be a little strong sometimes, I prefer tajin on the rim and then I’m in heaven
Marcela, what pepper do you think is in Tajin? That's why I was amazed Chef John -- who loves cayenne so much -- didn't add a little of it! All three of the flavors mixed together, the lime, the slight heat and the salt, equal Tajin.
Suzanne Baruch I wish I knew, all they list are chili peppers but don’t specify which ones
Love! Love! Greatest Margarita ever! Gracias Chef Juan!
I made your recipe yesterday, and it was the perfect margarita! Literally! Right amount of sweet and sour. We had many.......
I love that you didn’t complicate it with unnecessary ingredients. This is how margaritas should be made.
Love your voice and love the recipe! Especially the focus on not using sour mix!
I like Margaret and also Rita!
I love your channel, Frer John! I'm going to make my wife & girls (both girls in college these days) Fajitas and Margaritas this Friday. Peace, & thanks for what you do.
I always figured that you would be cool to hangout with but now I am sure! The fact that you don't like overly sweet, slurpy-style margaritas just makes you that much more awesome.
Very nice! I’m sipping one right now. I usually go 2oz tequila, 1oz triple sec, 1oz lime juice, but I like mine a little more boozy. I enjoy you branching out to cocktails every now and again!
Stay thirsty my friend!
We’re big on frozen margaritas here in Texas...nice video, thanks!🌷
Love all of your videos and watch them religiously, ok well not religiously, but almost. Loved this video too, and this is the first comment I have ever written. I love this recipe, but am about to blow your mind by suggesting you try lemon. Sounds weird I know, but lemon makes a much superior cocktail. Lime is traditional and is fine, but lemon is so amazing. My preference would be to use only an once of Cointreau and a teaspoon of sugar or a couple sugar cubes. In a pint glass (I suppose you could use the cocktail shaker bottom) add the sugar and lemon juice, muddle, add liquor and ice, cover the glass with a shaker, shake and pour. Yummeee!
Unlucky Neighbor That sounds nice, but it's not a Margarita.
Unlucky Neighbor That sounds nice, but it's not a Margarita.
always glad when the fresh cube hits my nose so that I can go make another~thanks for the fun!
Terrific recipe and video. I'd follow this up with a classic daiquiri, which is very very similar.
your description of the correct number of ice cubes sounds so much like every teacher I had in art school... I know I've mentioned this before on your channel, but the similarity is UNCANNY!
Also the bottle is Cointreau! Grand mariner works great as well!!
J-Mac's Amateur Kitchen Grand Marnier, too.
GM is a bit too orangey for me. It overwhelms easily. If you use slightly less than you would Cointreau, then it'd work great.
michael gregory - agreed, for our video we did it a little differently. Only .5 oz of GM goes into the cocktail while am agave simple syrup acts as the sweetener. I don’t like too much orange in my margarita and GM has cognac in it which gives the drink a little more complexity in my opinion. Everyone has their own taste though of course
Split a little between the two. Cointreau shaken with it and a float of GM.
I'm lost, please help. - first of all, AWESOME user name!! Second that’s not a bad idea! We did a cucumber margarita in our vid as well and I’m playin around with that but green chartreuse added and we are freakin out on how good this is!!
best video ever...this wins the inner webs..
Agree with you about the salt!
Good timing for Cinco de Mayo. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thumbs their nose at that sweet and sour mix that seems to appear in almost all restaurant drinks.
Now I know how to make my favorite drink. Thanks
Perfection liquefied. How lovely Chef John. Not just a beautiful chef. Bar tender I'll have what that good looking chef is having,please Thank you
Thank you for your awesome humour! :)
Did it your way chef John,... you're my spirit animal.
Great, it´s 8:45am and Mama is craving a Cocktail !
Please change the recipe to a bucket of margaritas. Who drinks only 1 margarita? Psychopaths. Who need friends.
llamawizard It's better to do it one glass at a time, because by the time you've had too many, youre too drunk to make more. Keeps you from wasting all that glorious liquor on a hangover.
I just made this. Three parts Tequila, two parts Cointreau, one part fresh lime juice.....the results were awesome!
Oh god, yes please chef John. More cocktails!
Chef John, how about a Mint Julep since the Kentucky Derby is coming up soon?
BIGBLOCK5022006 tomorrow, or today depending on what time zone youre in
BIGBLOCK5022006 It's Derby Day today, only one year later. Hope you're having a fun day. Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo! Think I'll be at El Napol on Taylorsville.
@@MzSuzy2698 Or last year. Oh wait, or not this year at all.
A++ love a good simple margarita.
I hear this goes great with a cheeseburger.. in paradise.
adam mac
I LIKE MINE WITH LETTUCE AND TOH'MATUHH
Don't forget the Hienz 57 and French Fried Potatoes
Parrot heads.
My mouth was literally watering watching you make this!
Would love to see more of these!
Hi John, Love the video recipes and the way you cook and explain. Would love to see you do a video on Ricotta Gnudi. Thanks
Finally! This looks like the perfect margarita! I will try this recipe tomorrow!
I don’t ever comment on any video, but i feel like you need to make a mojito video. I love your work, keep it goin!
You know he's had too much to drink when he forgets the "Around the outside" joke.
"....or have a good fake ID" LMAO
3:46 Loved the outcast reference! Shake it like a polaroid picture.
*"If you drink a lot, you should be able to tell just by the shape of the bottle."*
Well, shit. Guess I might have a drinking problem.
If you can still tell shapes apart you haven't drunk a lot.
I felt attacked lol
Cointreau is the one he used
Just in time for Cinco de Mayo!
Best way to cool down during summer :)
Shake it "not like a Polaroid picture" i love this guy
Loved it
More cocktail videos would be amazing chef john!!!!
Perfect Friday night cocktail! I'll be making this tonight to have with some salsa and chips. Thanks Chef John 🍸🌶🍅🧅
I made these using this recipe and it was delicious. I had reposado on hand and deKuyper Triple Sec and it was great but I do want to try with the name brand orange liqueur and Blanco tequila to see the difference.
Definitely try it with blanco and Cointreau! It's what we use in ours over on our channel!
Made it!! Working on 4th one....soooooo gooooood!!
ENJOY!!
Perfect Summer start! Thanks Chef!
Thank you chef, that was refreshing
After all, you are the maestro of your Cointreau ...!
Thank you for your true ingredients!!!
Why did I laugh out loudly at him saying he drank it, I should not drink hot beverages when watching 😂 😂
Finally! A recipe I can make.
Update: I just made it and it is awesome.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
A great finish for the rim is a mixture of lime zest, salt and sugar. Very tasty!
More coctail vids John also nice Outkast reference.
Thanks for sharing chef John.
Made this recipe tonight. Didn’t have blanco tequila so I used reposado instead and added a splash of agave syrup. Perfect in every way.
I've had so many salty margaritas because the bartender filled the glass! This is perfect Chef John!!
I have always asked for my margaritas “up” in an iced glass. Thank you, Chef John for reinforcing my choice. Once again, 1st in
Perfect! But I did add the simple syrup! Lots of it too. Xoxo 😘
Chef john, try muddling the lime in the shaker, build the rest of the drink on top, shake and strain. Absolutely the freshest tasting margarita you will ever have.
More cocktail vids Chef John! This is great! Thanks
You told us the ingredient amounts in the video... I like it!
there is a extremly high chance that, this is the most reacreated (by his audience ofc) recipe chef johns ever made :D cheers guys!
Thank you, Chef John. I like the ratio, 3-2-1. I can remember that even after a few. Blast off. 😉👍🏼👍🏼
My favorite.
My ALL time favorite! 😊 Yes Fresh is best. Yes I recognize the bottle. Je taime!😂
I like the cut off your jib, Chef! Margaritas should only ever have three ingredients, and you nailed them. Cheers!
Now I'm needin' a drink!
hey chef john, i use a squirt of jalapeño simple syrup that is left over from your deviled eggs recipe (and add one or two of the candied jalapeños, because i always slice extra), so dang good!
Magnifico
Chef John is my hero
I do indeed "drink all the salt" Chef John! I guess you'd call me a rebel!
Ohhhhh! Definitely one to try
_If you drink a lot_
I feel attacked.
Mmm just what i need right now 😋
As a Texan I was worried I was going to be let down by this video but nope, it literally was perfection. I die a little inside when I hear people order sugar instead of salt on the rim...that being said I absolutely love it when they rim it with Tajin
Great recipe! Can you tell me what cocktail shaker you use? After looking online I'm more confused than informed.
It was lovely. Thank you.
I really liked the video and all, and I don't mean to nit-pick, but... Since the salt is mandatory, wouldn't that be *FOUR* ingredients???
I love this channel!
