- As David Wondrich says in Esquire Drinks, "Cocktails should not remind you of childhood; therein lies problems." Friends coming over for a party? Sure, make a pitcher of Margaritas. Just remember to leave the blender out of it.
Recipe:
3 parts silver Tequila
2 parts Cointreau
1 part lime juice
Instructions:
For a pitcher of Margaritas, stir all ingredients with ice to chill and dilute.
Strain out ice and store mix in the fridge until time to serve.
Crush ice in a Lewis Bag, cotton napkin or bar towel.
Pour Margarita mix over crushed ice in individual glasses to serve.

Right on!! Cocktails should not remind someone of a childhood slushy! Love this guy!!
I love alcoholic slushies (esp the Jager's in Vegas) but Robert's take is philosophical and pure. I enjoyed that!
"no" so savage
god of cocktails...many thanks from ibiza, u have many fans here...great job!
I was skeptical when you began, but it ended up really nice. Thanks for the idea on a "frozen" Marg with natural flavors coming through.
I have used this trick in the past. For parties, a spouted drink dispenser with pre-mixed and shaken margs next to one ice bin with big block ice cubes and one ice bin with fine crushed ice works awesome. That way guests can choose how they want to serve themselves. A bin of lime wedges lets them customize how sour they prefer there drink. I love these videos!
um....I don't get it?? wtf is wrong with the "child remembrance slushy thingy" ?? 🙄
A margarita is an adult drink, whats there not to get 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@vermaraj1531 you need to reread my question again slowly .... 🤣
Wander if you could do a video to talk about different ratio of gin and vermouth in martinis?
Why is being reminded of childhood a problem Hess?
would've been neat if Robert explained what he was doing with that strainer.... looked like he put it on backwards or something
CandyHam,
Not sure why Robert did that. We just noticed. Perhaps it fit better that way?
Thank you for watching!
I have that same strainer (it's made by Wusthof if you're looking for it), and that is definitely the way it's supposed to go. It wouldn't be able to sit in the tin upside down.

We called that back in the early 60 s a mist drink with crushed ice
Awesome!
Seems like a traditional margarita with a ton of crushed ice.
does it get a little bit sour? cos you know there's no sweetener in there, maybe adding a little bit of simple syrup or agave nectar will make it better?
Cointreau is the sweetener. As a matter of fact is the only alternative to simple syrup commonly used in the whole "sour" category of cocktails.
I got shook whe he started crushing the ice on the table. I thought i was the only one who doesn’t have a blender
😂
Does Robert own or work at a bar that we can visit or is he just a connoisseur of great cocktails?
Pleazito,
Robert is a cocktail enthusiast, author and consultant. His website, Drinkboy.com was one of the first sites to offer up classic cocktail recipes and history back in the late 90's and became a destination for bartenders and cocktail geeks looking for information. He does not have a bar that you can visit although the bar we shoot the series in is located in his residence.
Thank you for watching!
Small Screen wow, that bar is his home bar? I am severely envious, lol. I keep my bottles in my pantry and mix at my computer desk. His looks very professional I wouldn't have guessed it was a personal bar, very nice.
Good thing we have people like him telling people how wrong they are for wanting a fun alcoholic drink.
Dirtylickins2 these videos aren't made for people like you
i cringe everytime someone orders a blended margarita. Drink it neat or drink it one the rocks, but not blended. and I cringe more if they want it to be strong and frozen. first of all, blending a cocktail will incorporate it with the ice, making it more diluted in the first place. asking for it to be "Stronger" is basically saying I like negroni, but I dont like gin.
What a strange take. Why? Listen to what he actually says. He doesn't make a coherent argument for why alcoholic slushies should be bad. Why would a cocktail being "childlike" be bad? Why are slushies childlike at all? If you hate cloyingly sweet slushies then don't make them too sweet. Sure they don't last long, but neither does a cocktail served up. It gets warm in just a few minutes. Sure the coldness makes the flavour less prominent but crushed ice is equally cold. Slushie cocktails can even be interesting and complex if you make them right. Regular cocktails are often used to get drunk fast anyways. Sweet, delicious, and easy-to-drink cocktails exist in all forms. Cocktails can have whatever purpose the drinker want them to have. This is just snobbery. Pointlessly holding your nose in the air. Not like adding crushed ice to a marg is some stroke of genius anyways. Not that it has to be.
just make the drink and then when you pour it in the cup put the alcohol in 1st then its stronger
When i was in college, we'd get slushies at 7/11 and put liquor in them. I called them "dirty slushies" lol
Nice recipe, but why can’t cocktails remind you of childhood? What’s wrong with having a sweet, simple drink. Pretentious drink snob
To me the only acceptable margarita ratio is 1:1:1 try it and you shall see. Neat of course. Salt rim without a doubt.
