Margarita en las rocas con sal

Posted on March 3rd, 2008 in Newsletters by warren

A MARGARITA ON THE ROCKS WITH SALT, PLEASE.

I have been an aficionado of tequila and margaritas for years. I have certainly enjoyed my quota of both.
El tequila is a powerful drink and must be used with caution, so I have a couple of suggestions:

Drink only the best tequila. Any tequila that is 100% agave will do. The white tequilas are the most pure and are less likely to give a hangover.
However, for flavor, I like the reposados, the darker tequilas that have been aged in oak barrels usually for 18 months. My favorite tequila is Don Julio Reposado and it has been very generous to me over the years.

Treat tequila like a fine cognac. It is made for sipping not for shooting (unless you are 20 years old and are in Carlos and Charlies. Been there, done that. YUK…glad I survived.) Now a days, I enjoy sipping and enjoying my tequila poco a poco. I don’t use limes or sangrita, just a nice sip every few minutes. Just enough to enjoy the flavor. Sometimes I like to drink my tequila with a beer and that is refreshing. Also, they mix well in the belly.

Now, how do I make my margarita? I usually start my margarita mixing the tequila- one portion, the controy- one portion, and the lime juice- one portion. Then I taste for flavor. This can vary depending on how tart the limes are. If the margarita is too tart, add some more controy, but be careful. Poco a poco.

Warren Hardy’s Perfect Margarita:
ONE, ONE, ONE

1 part good tequila, white tequila is preferable.
1 part lime juice, fresh squeezed limes only.
1 part Cointreau or “Controy,”

If you like Salt, run the edge of a cut lime around the rim of the glass, then dip the rim in a plate of salt.

The glass is very important. I like a stemmed glass that has a cone shape. The larger the better. Here in San Miguel they blow the large thick coned shaped glasses and they work best. The reason is that the ice melts slowly and as the ice melts and the margarita goes down, it maintains a perfect consistency of cold margarita without getting watery. That is important. Nobody likes a watery margarita. Good to the last drop is my motto.

Now, you probably wonder why we started of with UN MARGARITA. This is because tequila is a masculine word, and so is margarita. To find out why, ask Don Juan de la Boca. He will explain it all at this link.

UN MARGARITA EN LAS ROCAS CON SAL, POR FAVOR.

He sido un aficionado del tequila y margaritas por años. Ciertamente he aprovechado de mi cuota de los dos.
El tequila es una bebida poderosa y se debe usar con cuidado, de manera que tengo unas sugerencias:

Tome solamente el mejor tequila. Cualquier tequila que es 100% agave es adecuado. Los tequilas blancos son los más puros y probablemente no les dé una cruda. Sin embargo, para sabor, me gustan los reposados, los tequilas oscuros que han sido envejecidos en barriles de nogal, usualmente por 18 meses. Mi tequila favorito es Don Julio Reposado y has sido muy generoso conmigo a través de los años.

Hay que tratar el tequila como un coñac fino. Está hecho para disfrutar poco a poco, no para ¨shooting¨ (al menos que tienes 20 años y estás en Carlos y Charlies. He estado ahí y lo he hecho. Gracias a Dios, sobreviví. ) En actualidad, disfruto tomando poco a poco. No uso limones ni sangrita, solamente un poco cada rato..solamente bastante para gozar del sabor. A veces me gusta tomar mi tequila con una cerveza y esto es refrescante. También se mezclan bien en el estomago.

¿Ahora, cómo hago mi margarita? Usualmente empiezo mi margarita mezclando el tequila – una porción, controy – una porción, jugo de limón – una porción. Entonces pruebo el sabor. Esto puede ser variable dependiendo en que amargos son los limones. Si el margarita es demasiado amargo, agregue un poco más controy, pero tenga cuidado. Poco a poco.

El Margarita Perfecto de Warren Hardy
El UNO,UNO,UNO.

una porción de buen tequila, tequila blanco es preferible.
una porción de limones frescos solamente,
una porción de Controy

Si le gusta sal, ponga limón en la orilla de la copa y entonces meta la orilla en un plato de sal.

La copa es muy importante. Me gusta una copa que tiene forma de un cono. Más grande es mejor. Aquí en San Miguel hacen copas grandes y gruesos en forma de cono que funcionan mejor. La razón es que el hielo se deshace lentamente y mientras se deshace el hielo, el margarita baja lentamente y mantiene su consistencia perfecta de margarita frio sin ponerse aguado. Esto es importante. A nadie le gusta un margarita aquado. Rico hasta la última gota es mi lema.

Ahora, Ud. probablemente se pregunta porque empezamos con UN MARGARITA. Esto es porque EL tequila es una palabra masculina, y también EL margarita. Para saber porque, pregúntele a Don Juan de Boca. Él se lo explicará en este link.
