Oh, yeah! I know a nice bottle of Cointreau when I see it! I have one just like it in our bar! The kids are in bed. My husband watched the intro with me, then headed into the kitchen to make us a nice batch (with limes from our tree). Good man, Chef John! Good man! Oh, and tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo. There's your excuse if you need one. 😊
I don't consider myself a foodie by any measure but can't get enough of your videos! Only chef I follow on YT! Would be happy to add this to list of cocktails I make that's currently only housing mojitos and then Cuba libre when I run out of lime
I always figured that you would be cool to hangout with but now I am sure! The fact that you don't like overly sweet, slurpy-style margaritas just makes you that much more awesome.
BIGBLOCK5022006 It's Derby Day today, only one year later. Hope you're having a fun day. Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo! Think I'll be at El Napol on Taylorsville.
Very nice! I’m sipping one right now. I usually go 2oz tequila, 1oz triple sec, 1oz lime juice, but I like mine a little more boozy. I enjoy you branching out to cocktails every now and again!
I love your channel, Frer John! I'm going to make my wife & girls (both girls in college these days) Fajitas and Margaritas this Friday. Peace, & thanks for what you do.
Marcela, what pepper do you think is in Tajin? That's why I was amazed Chef John -- who loves cayenne so much -- didn't add a little of it! All three of the flavors mixed together, the lime, the slight heat and the salt, equal Tajin.
Good timing for Cinco de Mayo. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thumbs their nose at that sweet and sour mix that seems to appear in almost all restaurant drinks.
your description of the correct number of ice cubes sounds so much like every teacher I had in art school... I know I've mentioned this before on your channel, but the similarity is UNCANNY!
michael gregory - agreed, for our video we did it a little differently. Only .5 oz of GM goes into the cocktail while am agave simple syrup acts as the sweetener. I don’t like too much orange in my margarita and GM has cognac in it which gives the drink a little more complexity in my opinion. Everyone has their own taste though of course
I'm lost, please help. - first of all, AWESOME user name!! Second that’s not a bad idea! We did a cucumber margarita in our vid as well and I’m playin around with that but green chartreuse added and we are freakin out on how good this is!!
Love all of your videos and watch them religiously, ok well not religiously, but almost. Loved this video too, and this is the first comment I have ever written. I love this recipe, but am about to blow your mind by suggesting you try lemon. Sounds weird I know, but lemon makes a much superior cocktail. Lime is traditional and is fine, but lemon is so amazing. My preference would be to use only an once of Cointreau and a teaspoon of sugar or a couple sugar cubes. In a pint glass (I suppose you could use the cocktail shaker bottom) add the sugar and lemon juice, muddle, add liquor and ice, cover the glass with a shaker, shake and pour. Yummeee!
Chef john, try muddling the lime in the shaker, build the rest of the drink on top, shake and strain. Absolutely the freshest tasting margarita you will ever have.
I made these using this recipe and it was delicious. I had reposado on hand and deKuyper Triple Sec and it was great but I do want to try with the name brand orange liqueur and Blanco tequila to see the difference.
Margaritas are great! But I truly love a drink that a local Spanish restaurant serves called the Blue Diablo: tequila, blue curaçao, and lemon-lime soda.
hey chef john, i use a squirt of jalapeño simple syrup that is left over from your deviled eggs recipe (and add one or two of the candied jalapeños, because i always slice extra), so dang good!
llamawizard It's better to do it one glass at a time, because by the time you've had too many, youre too drunk to make more. Keeps you from wasting all that glorious liquor on a hangover.
Simple recipe, I could recomend some Brands of tequila for this as a mexican. Don Julio añejo cristalino or sauza Hornitos añejo both Are perfect for this. You can't go wrong. Cheers
Hey chef John, your dishes are amazing! When I want to try something new I always come to your videos. Also, I noticed that you don't have any Chilean pebre recipe, maybe you wanna try that. It's a spicy and delicious condiment and works with everything, literally!
Lovely! Got another cocktail for you. Swedish grog! You need: 1 large bucket. 4 large bottles of Absolut Vodka (Or good swedish moonshine) 1-2 lingonberries (careful with the fruit! You´re making grog, not fruit punch!!!) Mix all the ingerdients in the bucket and decorate with a curly straw for a more festive feeling (Optional)!
A piece of trivia for chef John, margaritas where invented in a tiny bar called Kentucky in ciudad Juárez as the very famous singer Juan Gabriel said "la frontera más famosa y bella de mundo" my hometown 😘
In place of the Triple Sec try some Cointreau sometime. A bit more boozy than Triple Sec but very good and I think is part of the original margarita recipe (if that matters to you).
As a Texan I was worried I was going to be let down by this video but nope, it literally was perfection. I die a little inside when I hear people order sugar instead of salt on the rim...that being said I absolutely love it when they rim it with Tajin

More cocktail vids please
Cannot agree more. Wonder if Chef john likes El Presidentes...
YES!!!
Doesn't even need tails, I'd settle for more just cock videos from Chef John.
*SHAZAM* phrasing
Yes!!
FINALLY a vegetarian recipe.
Megab Miller lol
Megab Miller its also vegan friendly...
Not quite, tequila comes from Cows 🐄. Sorry
I didn’t know margaritas weren’t vegetarian. I’m glad they went with the non meat tequila
@@mattaytoun331 neither did i, however i think that a few recipes add egg whites in their margaritas.
A couple of those ritas, the chips, guac and salsa- what I call dinner about twice a week... Thanks Chef John for being civilized!
*🍹You are after all the Senorita of your Margarita.🤣*
Winner!!
Yeah, you win.
*Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner!🤤*
...that's all I kept thinking when I was reading your comments. lol 😜
Yesssssd
You are, after all, gonna have diarrhoea if you drink too much tequila.
freshly 👏 squeezed 👏
Hey Chef John, please do more cocktail recipes as I'd love to see what you can come with!! :)
You are my guru, Chef John. I now cook for my wife and our guests with confidence because of you. Thank you.
Confidence in the kitchen is such a good thing.
Perfect! I need a celebratory drink! We just bought a house and I’m in the mood for an adult drink! 😀YAY!
Tanya congratulations!
Topher S THANK YOU! 😊
Nice! Congrats
Congratulations!!
😁😁😁
I tried a few, and it is a truth serum. I made it exactly as you showed us, and truthfully… wow! This is a keeper, thank you!
Me: chef John said you need to use fresh ice cube to make a perfect margarita
My friend: oh... But I always use the frozen one
.................
I never get tired of your videos. Thanks
Please more cocktail videos please please please!!
Just tried it and it's very good!
Oh, yeah! I know a nice bottle of Cointreau when I see it! I have one just like it in our bar! The kids are in bed.

I was excited about the cocktail already but when you placed in front of the nachos with guacamole and salsa... GOSH! I started to drool. lol
I don't consider myself a foodie by any measure but can't get enough of your videos! Only chef I follow on YT! Would be happy to add this to list of cocktails I make that's currently only housing mojitos and then Cuba libre when I run out of lime
I made your recipe yesterday, and it was the perfect margarita! Literally! Right amount of sweet and sour. We had many.......
Delicious and *perfect* margarita.
Love! Love! Greatest Margarita ever! Gracias Chef Juan!
I always figured that you would be cool to hangout with but now I am sure! The fact that you don't like overly sweet, slurpy-style margaritas just makes you that much more awesome.
How can you not love Chef John
Chef John, how about a Mint Julep since the Kentucky Derby is coming up soon?
BIGBLOCK5022006 tomorrow, or today depending on what time zone youre in
BIGBLOCK5022006 It's Derby Day today, only one year later. Hope you're having a fun day. Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo! Think I'll be at El Napol on Taylorsville.
@@MzSuzy2698 Or last year. Oh wait, or not this year at all.
Very nice! I’m sipping one right now. I usually go 2oz tequila, 1oz triple sec, 1oz lime juice, but I like mine a little more boozy. I enjoy you branching out to cocktails every now and again!

Did it your way chef John,... you're my spirit animal.
We’re big on frozen margaritas here in Texas...nice video, thanks!🌷
I'm amazed you didn't mix a bit of cayenne with the salt! Maybe next time.
Suzanne Baruch omg trueeeee
Aka tajin
Lol I think cayenne might be a little strong sometimes, I prefer tajin on the rim and then I’m in heaven
Marcela, what pepper do you think is in Tajin? That's why I was amazed Chef John -- who loves cayenne so much -- didn't add a little of it! All three of the flavors mixed together, the lime, the slight heat and the salt, equal Tajin.
Suzanne Baruch I wish I knew, all they list are chili peppers but don’t specify which ones
Good timing for Cinco de Mayo. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thumbs their nose at that sweet and sour mix that seems to appear in almost all restaurant drinks.
I like Margaret and also Rita!
always glad when the fresh cube hits my nose so that I can go make another~thanks for the fun!
My mouth was literally watering watching you make this!
your description of the correct number of ice cubes sounds so much like every teacher I had in art school... I know I've mentioned this before on your channel, but the similarity is UNCANNY!
Love your voice and love the recipe! Especially the focus on not using sour mix!
Also the bottle is Cointreau! Grand mariner works great as well!!
J-Mac's Amateur Kitchen Grand Marnier, too.
GM is a bit too orangey for me. It overwhelms easily. If you use slightly less than you would Cointreau, then it'd work great.
michael gregory - agreed, for our video we did it a little differently. Only .5 oz of GM goes into the cocktail while am agave simple syrup acts as the sweetener. I don’t like too much orange in my margarita and GM has cognac in it which gives the drink a little more complexity in my opinion. Everyone has their own taste though of course
Split a little between the two. Cointreau shaken with it and a float of GM.
I'm lost, please help. - first of all, AWESOME user name!! Second that’s not a bad idea! We did a cucumber margarita in our vid as well and I’m playin around with that but green chartreuse added and we are freakin out on how good this is!!
Perfection liquefied. How lovely Chef John. Not just a beautiful chef. Bar tender I'll have what that good looking chef is having,please Thank you
Perfect Friday night cocktail! I'll be making this tonight to have with some salsa and chips. Thanks Chef John 🍸🌶🍅🧅
I love that you didn’t complicate it with unnecessary ingredients. This is how margaritas should be made.
Finally! This looks like the perfect margarita! I will try this recipe tomorrow!
Oh god, yes please chef John. More cocktails!
Terrific recipe and video. I'd follow this up with a classic daiquiri, which is very very similar.
I just made this. Three parts Tequila, two parts Cointreau, one part fresh lime juice.....the results were awesome!
Would love to see more of these!
Made this recipe tonight. Didn’t have blanco tequila so I used reposado instead and added a splash of agave syrup. Perfect in every way.
3:46 Loved the outcast reference! Shake it like a polaroid picture.
Thank you, Chef John. I like the ratio, 3-2-1. I can remember that even after a few. Blast off. 😉👍🏼👍🏼
Now I know how to make my favorite drink. Thanks
Agree with you about the salt!
More cocktail videos would be amazing chef john!!!!
Hi John, Love the video recipes and the way you cook and explain. Would love to see you do a video on Ricotta Gnudi. Thanks
best video ever...this wins the inner webs..
It’s “Mis amigos”! And this is absolutely “delicioso”! Thank you! Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Unlucky Neighbor That sounds nice, but it's not a Margarita.

Made it!! Working on 4th one....soooooo gooooood!!
ENJOY!!
Chef john, try muddling the lime in the shaker, build the rest of the drink on top, shake and strain. Absolutely the freshest tasting margarita you will ever have.
A great finish for the rim is a mixture of lime zest, salt and sugar. Very tasty!
I made these using this recipe and it was delicious. I had reposado on hand and deKuyper Triple Sec and it was great but I do want to try with the name brand orange liqueur and Blanco tequila to see the difference.
Definitely try it with blanco and Cointreau! It's what we use in ours over on our channel!
Best way to cool down during summer :)
Perfect Summer start! Thanks Chef!
I'm not a drinker but these look amazing and definetly worth a try
My favorite.
Thank you for your true ingredients!!!
More cocktail vids Chef John! This is great! Thanks
Stay thirsty my friend!
A++ love a good simple margarita.
Margaritas are great! But I truly love a drink that a local Spanish restaurant serves called the Blue Diablo: tequila, blue curaçao, and lemon-lime soda.
Perfect! But I did add the simple syrup! Lots of it too. Xoxo 😘
hey chef john, i use a squirt of jalapeño simple syrup that is left over from your deviled eggs recipe (and add one or two of the candied jalapeños, because i always slice extra), so dang good!
Just in time for Cinco de Mayo!
I don’t ever comment on any video, but i feel like you need to make a mojito video. I love your work, keep it goin!
I like the cut off your jib, Chef! Margaritas should only ever have three ingredients, and you nailed them. Cheers!
Looks delicious! Your guacamole video changed my dinner routine, now I make it two or three times a week. Best ever. How about a salsa video?
Please change the recipe to a bucket of margaritas. Who drinks only 1 margarita? Psychopaths. Who need friends.
llamawizard It's better to do it one glass at a time, because by the time you've had too many, youre too drunk to make more. Keeps you from wasting all that glorious liquor on a hangover.
I've had so many salty margaritas because the bartender filled the glass! This is perfect Chef John!!
You told us the ingredient amounts in the video... I like it!
Thank you chef, that was refreshing
You should try to muddle a jalapeño slice and salt the rim with Tajin. It’s the best selling drink at my bar
I tried muddling some cucumber and jalapeno slices with my margaritas. Mmmm.
Simple recipe, I could recomend some Brands of tequila for this as a mexican. Don Julio añejo cristalino or sauza Hornitos añejo both Are perfect for this. You can't go wrong. Cheers
Loved it
Hey chef John, your dishes are amazing! When I want to try something new I always come to your videos.
Also, I noticed that you don't have any Chilean pebre recipe, maybe you wanna try that. It's a spicy and delicious condiment and works with everything, literally!
Magnifico
You should do a whole series on cocktail drinks. And try to film it all in one day! Thanks Love the episode!
I hear this goes great with a cheeseburger.. in paradise.
adam mac
I LIKE MINE WITH LETTUCE AND TOH'MATUHH
Don't forget the Hienz 57 and French Fried Potatoes
Parrot heads.
After all, you are the maestro of your Cointreau ...!
More coctail vids John also nice Outkast reference.
Thank you for your awesome humour! :)
I have always asked for my margaritas “up” in an iced glass. Thank you, Chef John for reinforcing my choice. Once again, 1st in
Thank you Chef John!!!!! (Cointreau).....
Chef John - please do more drinks! I'd love to learn them from you.
Ohhhhh! Definitely one to try
My ALL time favorite! 😊 Yes Fresh is best. Yes I recognize the bottle. Je taime!😂
It was lovely. Thank you.
Lovely! Got another cocktail for you. Swedish grog!
You need:
1 large bucket.
4 large bottles of Absolut Vodka (Or good swedish moonshine)
1-2 lingonberries (careful with the fruit! You´re making grog, not fruit punch!!!)
Mix all the ingerdients in the bucket and decorate with a curly straw for a more festive feeling (Optional)!
Thanks for sharing chef John.
A piece of trivia for chef John, margaritas where invented in a tiny bar called Kentucky in ciudad Juárez as the very famous singer Juan Gabriel said "la frontera más famosa y bella de mundo" my hometown 😘
I will have one tm. Thanks CJ
In place of the Triple Sec try some Cointreau sometime. A bit more boozy than Triple Sec but very good and I think is part of the original margarita recipe (if that matters to you).

That will go nicely at the Food Wishes bar and grill.
