How To Make a Margarita?

You’d think, "Hey, well that’s really simple. You just jam it all up in a glass and shake it and that’s about it. And if you can’t, there’s always alcohol delivery open somewhere." And yes, indeed, you are right about both things. It’s basically just jamming it all up in a glass and shaking it vigorously, and if you can’t do that for some reason like not having a shaker or your hands always being full of, well, something, there’s good news for you. With the looming shadows of skepticism in the post-pandemic era, we have also seen the silver lining of liquor store delivery becoming more common place almost about everywhere.

23% of the U.S. population have drunk a cocktail out of home in the last 3 months.

Packaged margaritas are a thing and while some may frown at that, we gotta live with it just like we learnt to live with pineapple on pizzas. So whether you are in a rich NY suburb or reading this out of nowhere in one of the smallest towns of Vietnam, there’s a pretty good chance that the liquor stores open near you will take those efforts and make that delivery of delicious margarita right at your doorstep

So then the question arises, why should you learn how to make margarita? And as an extension of that, why should you read this man jabbering about random stuff about liquor stores and margaritas? Well, it’s because, every person who likes the occasional comfort of a drink in their living room all by themselves should know how to make a basic margarita. And yes, while you think it’s just jamming it all up and shaking it a lot, and while I agreed with that a while ago, the devil is usually in the detail. So watch your steps carefully. A margarita is basically a godly combination of tequila, triple sec, lime juice and all the ice you can find in Antarctica. Assuming you have already made that trip to collect the ice or have had it delivered while ordering alcohol online, we will go to the next steps. These are as follows:

• Chill your glass with ice—this is directly proportional to how cool you want it; and since you are very cool, we’d say you would need at least a little over half of your glass filled with ice.
• The second step is to use more ice because God has put a lot of it on Earth and it’s only wise that we use it all. Nah, but seriously, the second step would be to get a whole lot of ice, tequila, triple sec and lime juice in a shaker and shake it like your life depends on it.
• The third step, after you have decided that your shaking is sufficient, is to run a nice lime wedge on the edge of your glass and then rub some salt over it. It is a fairly simple step but I promise it will look like you are some excellent chef doing some cool stuff; or a sous-chef at least..

What with the buzz around the pandemic & the need for social distancing, we seem to have lost the sheen around the weekend vibes we got while the week ended.
