The creation of the Margarita cocktail dates back to 1942 in a bar (canteen) in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico. It is considered the most popular cocktail in Mexico and can be found in any bar or restaurant where it is offered as an aperitif. It is usually served in a single glass, it is a hat-cut glass design, usually with a blue cobalt border.
This recipe is for the Margarita Classic Cocktail, with its combination of tequila, lemon juice, natural syrup and triple dry, but you can also use Cointreau, garnished with slices of orange or lemon. Nowadays there are infinite recipes for margarita, it is found in flavors such as mango, strawberry, pineapple, cherry, endless possibilities and combinations to prepare a cocktail, but, I am old fashioned and I take the classics. Be careful when drinking this cocktail, it is a bit strong.
