Triple-Strength Authentic Mexican Margarita
History & Lore
The margarita, Mexico’s most famous cocktail, has origins as tangled as a wild agave field. Some say it was first mixed in the 1930s for a showgirl allergic to every liquor but tequila. Others claim it was created in the 1940s by bartenders along the U.S.-Mexico border. What is certain is its timeless appeal—lime, tequila, and orange liqueur in perfect harmony. But this isn’t just any margarita. This is triple strength—a bold, unapologetic twist on the classic, served in a large handled glass fit for those who drink with purpose.
Recipe: The Triple-Strength Margarita
Ingredients (1 Large Serving)
• 3 oz 100% agave tequila (preferably reposado for depth)
• 1.5 oz Cointreau or Grand Marnier (for smooth citrus balance)
• 1.5 oz fresh lime juice (no bottled shortcuts)
• 1 oz agave nectar or simple syrup (to round the edges)
• Coarse salt for rimming
• Ice (crushed or cubed)
Instructions
1. Prepare the glass: Run a lime wedge around the rim of a large handled drinking glass and dip it into a plate of coarse salt.
2. Mix the drink: In a shaker filled with ice, combine tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, and agave syrup. Shake vigorously—this isn’t a drink for the timid.
3. Pour & Serve: Fill your salted glass with fresh ice and strain the margarita over it.
4. Garnish & Enjoy: Drop in a lime wheel or an orange twist. Take a deep breath—this is the real deal.
The Promo: A Drink That Commands Respect
This isn’t your watered-down, beach-bar margarita. This is triple-strength, the kind that sings with every sip, where the tequila takes center stage and the citrus plays a supporting role. Served in a large, sturdy handled glass, it’s meant to be gripped, not delicately sipped. This is the margarita of legends, revolutionaries, and those who refuse to compromise.
One sip, and you’ll know: this is how a margarita is supposed to taste.
