Chef's etoile notebook:

So you have seen the peach magarita above?
So what actually is magarita?
The margarita is a cocktail drink which consists of tequila mixed with triple sec and lime or lemon juice, often served with salt on the glass rim.
if you are wondering,
Triple sec is actually an orange-flavored liquer made from the dried peels of bitter oranges from the Caribbean
Margarita is the most common tequila-based cocktail in US
The drink is usually served shaken with ice, on the rocks, blended with ice (frozen margarita) or without ice (straight up).
All three methods are frequently served with salt or sugar on the rim of the glass which is optional. Served with salt is usually for the classic margarita which consists of lime or lemon juice, the coarse sea salt rimmed helps to enhance the taste giving it a little breather of the sea.

The drink i had above is frozen peach margarita, blended with ice the drink has an addition of peach schnapps to the classic recipe of lime or lemon juice with the inevitable triple sec and tequila. So many might be wondering, WT Food? is schnapps? It is a distilled alcoholic beverage which is clear, colorless, and has a light fruit flavor. And it is distilled from fermented fruit.
In this case, the peach schnapps we used for peach margarita is made from distillation of fermented peaches.

The peach margarita is can be served, shaken, on the rocks, frozen or straight up.

For me i like my peach margarita served frozen, and with a beautiful slice of peach rimmed as a garnish.

I still love the old classic margarita which just lime or lemon juice, rimmed with salt best.

So how would you like your margarita?
