The number of margarita varieties is almost the same as the forms of tequila, according to experts. One claim is that a man named Carlos Herrera invented the margarita cocktail at his own restaurant situated adjacent to Tijuana in 1938. Another is that Francisco Morales mixed it for the first time at a Juarez-based bar way back in 1942. Anyhow, Los Angeles city is thought to have taken the margarita into an internationally known alcoholic beverage.
On February 22, people in the United States of America honor the drink. So, if you would like to celebrate the special occasion, act as per the following.
How To Create Margarita The Piccalilli Way
The Culver City-based Piccalilli is open to people who want to dine outdoors, but you may make the restaurant’s Midsommar Margarita-like product at home. Here is the recipe for this drink from the GM of Piccalilli, Melissa Lambert.
The Ingredients Needed
- 1 ounce of Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao
- 2 ounces of the Espolòn Blanco-branded tequila
- 1 ounce of juice squeezed from fresh limes
- 0.5 ounce of ginger syrup
- 6 Thai Basil leaves
- 1 Kaffir lime leaf
Instructions
- Make the syrup. For that, peel ginger in fresh form, extract the juice out of it, and use the liquid and simple syrup in a 2:1 ratio.
- Put every component into a cocktail shaker and then fill it with ice.
- Be sure of releasing its aroma by cracking the leaf of the said lime in half.
- Shake it hard for half a minute.
- Cover a rock glass’s rim halfway with salt. Transfer all the things in the shaking tool to that glass, and then decorate it with a thick slice of lime. Piccalilli seasons it slightly more by combining kaffir lime, shredded coconut, salt, and some chili.

Optimist Drinks
Abstaining from liquor does not have to result in stopping the celebrations. Try some distilled botanical products with no alcohol, additive or sugar content from Optimist Drinks. You might love those products, just like many other people. Made and distilled in Los Angeles, every single blend of Optimist Drinks recognizes the influence of our community’s culture and tastes with a complex combination of ingredients attained through mindful sourcing.
Optimist Drinks products are available in Smokey, Fresh, and Bright blends. Do you want a further tequila-forward flavor? If yes, we would suggest Optimist Drinks’ Smokey blend with notes of bittersweet, spice, and bonfire. That non-alcoholic product goes down similar to a smooth type of tequila. The right serve is this: 1 part Smokey to 2 parts sparkling water or tonic over ice, plus decorated with jalapeño, orange peel or pink peppercorns.
