I broke my flip flop in margaritaville
No it doesn’t.
If there’s a heaven this guy’s the bartender
How much lime juice? 1/2 ounce?
true
Lime cordial is pretty much lime flavor and sugar, since he has added both these ingredients fresh, no need for the cordial. Lime cordial has it’s place ie. Gin gimlet, but a margarita is best with fresh lime juice IMO.
He is a superb Bartender, but why didn’t he use Lime Juice Codial (f.E. Rose’s Lime Juice)?

The orginal recipe contains cordial.
Margarita Cocktail Recipe
3 cl Tequila
2 cl lemon juice
1 cl Cointreau
go to the shaker with ice
pour into a cocktail glass decorated with previously salt on the rim of the cup
this is the original
and not the frozen margarita, because it takes away the flavor.
You can feel that he loves his job…
Such a smart and sweet man!!! I’d be at his Bar everyday
This man is my hero
@vteckillenzc They shake it for several reasons. To mix the ingredients, to make it as cold as possible, and to dilute the ice just a bit so the water can tame the spirit a bit and open up the spirits aroma and taste to your palate.
@vteckillenzc No, they shake it because it’s fun and makes a great swishing noise.
Still a great vid.
@vteckillenzc mixing and chilling better
oh look! it’s Gordon brown Bartending!
@sleighte could not agree more. this guy is a real bartender.
@bolch88bb8
so that why they shake it to make sure it mixed good.thanks man
@vteckillenzc you could stir this drink but stir vigorously enough to ensure that it has been mixed properly
shaking the drink ensures that you have a liquid that is homogenous…and that is…”same throughout the whole volume of liquid”
well whats the point of shaking it and not stiring it??
@vteckillenzc
Have to mix the lime and symple syrup together with the alcohol
y do they shake the drink?
Awesome Margarita!
Mouth watering presentation.
