Rick Bayless Margarita Master Class

nice video. can i use patron silver?

Is it me or this guy is using a fortaleza winter blend 2022 that goes for $400 dollars 😂

There's a famous Russian novel...the Master and Margarita.

Appreciate the bottle of Los Abuelos, but I wouldn't dare use it for a margarita. That's a sipping tequila

This is a reductive explanation passed off as a "master"

- Unclear advice about different trip-sec & tequila combinations
- Reposado doesn't always mean smoother. There's some incredibly smooth blanco tequilas. What Reposado does usually mean though is more character from the vessel it was aged in. That is all to say swapping blanco tequila for reposado doesn't make a magarita better, and the extra flavors from aging might alter the balance (maybe for the better for some).

- Similarly, different trip-secs bring different flavors sometimes requiring alternations to the normal ratios. For example Grand Marnier pairs really nicely with Lemon for a nice variation.
- Also worth mentioning adding salt to the drink, instead of on the rip, provides a consistent balance (which again some people prefer, others don't)

Needs to be poured over fresh ice cubes. Your margarita is either blended (inauthentic in my opinion) or on the rocks.

There is no other option.

Thanks for the info....excellent. Bless ya

Te Amo Rick.

Fortaleza anejo is absolutely the best tequila I've ever tasted

Over 7 minutes long? I drink a Margarita in less than seven minutes!

Thank you I will be making some today for the family.

Where did you find Fortaleza?!

I have always gone with the recipe used by the Cadillac bar in the Nuevo Laredo Mexico. 2 ounces tequila, 2 ounces of Cointreau, 1 ounce of fresh lime juice. Blend shake with cracked ice pour over ass salted rim glass. I have used that recipe for 50 years.

Awesome, but I prefer to put the ice last so it doesn't water down the drink🎉

"Sour mix in a margarita?!?! What is this, Auschwitz?" - Sterling Archer

Love Margaritas with sugar rim, though…..and Paloma with grapefruit juice not soda.

How’s it feel to be the likable bayless?

Shitty tequila

For a nice twist on this classic: 2 oz Silver tequila, 1oz Dry Curaçao, 1oz lime juice and 1 oz White Crème de Cacao. Very nice. 💙☀️

I'm just jealous that you have access to Fortaleza. I had no idea it was so hard to find in mainland U.S.

Frozen limeade, ice, tequila, blender, done.

You had me till the salt.

I'm not sure it's still called a margarita, but I've been using this basic recipe except using mezcal instead of tequila. A mezcalita maybe? Anyway, 2 oz mezcal, 1 oz fresh lime juice, 1/2 oz simple syrup, 1/2 oz Curacao. Amazing!

I'm probably the only one... but I just hate salt rimmed margaritas. 🤦‍♂️

Always blanco but make sure it’s 100% agave

The blood orange margarita at Frontera is the boss of margaritas.

Your love of the daisy shines through! Gracias!

Perfect, Cheers!!!

Love this video, the subject and of course Rick!!

2 parts tequila, one part Cointreau, and one part fresh lime juice. No syrup or nectar. Tajin-rimmed glass.

More liquid in the smooth version.

Good video. I know what smooth means, but what is meant by a “bright” and “mellow” Tequila?

I bought a VitaMix blender years ago for smoothies and cocktails. I’ve never made any adult beverage with mixes or pre squeezed juices. We love Margaritas in hot weather with some blended ice for texture.

Glad you hate skip

Watching from Frontera at Disney Springs 😊

I use Jose Cuervo gold and silver, The gold is stronger, while the silver is more mellow

Thank you sir. There's very enjoyable and detailed information in your video. Salud 🍻

thank you !!!

The best Bayless brother!

Is this skip brother?

Excellent guide! I used Bauchant as my orange liqueur and my margarita came out delicious. Salt/tajin rims are a must on this drink.

There are no better margarita recipes than Rick’s.

no ice in the glass? dumbest thing I've ever seen

Thanks. I will make this and your Shrimp Ceviche for New Years Eve. I've been making your 'short cut' version of Pozole since Aug 2022. I use pork in mine. I make a batch that lasts 5 days, take a little break and then make it again. DELICIOUS and great for someone like me, retired, 80 yrs old and wants great food but not have to cook every day. Happy New Year

My favorite of all margaritas 🍹😊

Much better than any other margarita video I've seen, barring maybe How to Drink. Great explanation about the range of tequila flavors and options for orange liqueur

I never know the complexity of making a Margarita. I thought they poured who is there Cuervo Margarita mix with tequila. Willa you have a margarita.. now knowing this I wonder if at a restaurant or bar how they do it. I would love to try a smooth margarita.
