Review:
The name might be more masculine, but it is still a classic Margarita. This 2:1:1 recipe is a touch on the sour side for most so you may want to add a 5ml (1 bar spoon) of agave or sugar syrup.
History:
Yes, you're right! This drink is exactly the same as a classically proportioned Margarita. It was published in W. J. Tarling's 1937 Cafe Royal Cocktail Book, 16 years before the first written reference to a Margarita.
"Picador
¼ fresh Lime of Lemon Juice.
¼ Cointreau.
½ Tequila.
Shake."
Conjecture suggests that this British recipe was copied by whichever American gave the Margarita its name. We've a page exploring the history of the Margarita cocktail and the various protagonists and their claims.
