I never knew that about the history of the margarita, or should I say, the "Picador"! I've ruined so many cocktails by dropping an egg yolk in accidentally, I always recommend using the least expensive stuff first.
Me too with the eggs. I definitely learned that one the hard way. With eggs now I just do it over a separate bowl. A little too much of any one ingredient isn’t too bad but it’s kinda hard to get past a yolk. Yeah the margarita has been a hard one to research. Not to say the esquire guy didn’t have one in Mexico but there are no records of it there before the 1940s.

Interesting history about the Margarita. Your suggestion to add the cheapest ingredients first is smart!
Thank you! I learned it the hard way lol
