Where to Buy Pear Juice
When this post first went up, I didn’t know that sourcing pear juice would be such a challenge for folks! It really is a unique flavor that is hard to replicate with other juices.
My first recommendation is to check three aisles that you may not frequent at your grocery store: the international foods section, the organic section and the baby food section.
Amazon is also an option, here are some choices you can purchase online:
If you really,really,cannot source pear juice, you could completely switch up this Fall Margarita and use a high quality ginger ale. Pick one that comes in a fancy glass bottle, with depth of flavor. It will taste completely different, but still be a nice fall co*cktail.
What You Need
2 oz 100% Apple Cider
2 oz Pear Juice
1½ oz Tequila Gold

Margarita salt for the glass rim
Simple Syrup
Ice

How to Make aFall & Thanksgiving Margarita Recipe
First, dip the rim of your glass in simple syrup and place upside down on Margarita salt. Then, set the glass aside.
Next, fill 3/4 of your glass with ice.
Pour liquid ingredients into a shaker filled with ice and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds.
Pour into your prepared glass. Add a cinnamon stick for garnish.
We'll just tell you upfront: The secret to a tasty margarita is freshly squeezed lime juice (not the bottled stuff) and—here's the real secret—a splash of fresh OJ. That's right. Fresh-squeezed juice from an actual orange (not an orange-flavored liqueur) will produce a cleaner-tasting, more refreshing margarita.
Can they replace Triple Sec? Both Grand Marnier and Cointreau are excellent replacements for Triple Sec when making a Margarita. In fact, both of these are significantly more expensive and are considered to be better than inexpensive Triple Sec both in quality and taste.
“You can make a margarita out of any tequila. Espolon reposado for the flavor and the price is the best. But there are so many different ones, each adds a different flavor.” That tequilas should touch nothing but fresh lime juice, agave syrup and a good triple sec or Cointreau or maybe a Grand Marnier floater.
To balance the co*cktail's acidity, triple sec is absolutely necessary for traditional Margaritas, according to Bailon. “Without triple sec, we fall into a different co*cktail category, which is the sour,” she explains.
The dirty margarita takes its inspiration from the dirty martini, a classic libation made with strong liquor and a splash of a little something not-so-clear. We swap olive juice for jalapeno brine, making this a drink that packs the heat–and a punch.
To realise the original recipe of the Margarita co*cktail you need to use Cointreau l'Unique as it is one of the founding ingredients, it represents 30% of the recipe. You can use another triple-sec if you want but it will not taste the same as the original Margarita created by Margarte Sames in 1948.
Because Cointreau and triple sec are essentially the same kind of liqueur, you can interchange one for the other when making co*cktails, depending on what is available to you.
In addition to powdered mixes, which are more affordable, restaurants also use liquid mixes they can purchase from their alcohol supplier -similar to the concentrate above. The two most popular mixes that restaurants use for margaritas are Zing Zang Margarita Mix and Jose Cuervo Classic Lime Original Margarita Mix.
A few margarita substitutes can be made with items on hand in nearly any home or restaurant. For example, instead of tequila, you could use vodka; instead of Triple Sec, you could add some orange juice and grenadine; finally, for lime wedges, you might want to garnish with lemon slices.
Lover of classic co*cktails Author has 111 answers and. · 7y. When Martini drinkers refer to a drink as 'bruised' it's usually translated as being vigorously shaken in a mixing tin with plenty of cubed ice. The alternative would be to stir the drink with a rod or a spoon in a mixing glass.
If you don't have triple sec handy, you can substitute with another good-quality orange liqueur like Grand Marnier or Cointreau. For a non-alcoholic substitute you can add fresh orange juice, or agave nectar/simple syrup, to add a touch of sweetness.
Blue Curaçao is basically an ordinary Curaçao liqueur, colored Blue. However, usually the Blue version has a lower alcohol percentage between 20% and 25% as its main function is coloring. But, you can use Blue Curaçao to substitute a Triple Sec in a co*cktail recipe.
In a co*cktail shaker, combine tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice. Fill with ice and shake until thoroughly chilled, about 15 seconds (the bottom of a metal shaker should frost over). Fill glasses with fresh ice and strain margarita into both glasses. Garnish with lime wheels and serve.
The "Original Margarita" recipe, as given by Cointreau on their website, has slightly more of their own sweet liqueur: 1 part white tequila, 1⁄2 part Cointreau, and 1⁄2 part fresh squeezed lime juice.
Adding fruit like mango can add a lot more flavor to your margaritas. While a classic margarita with lime is certainly tasty, adding other fruits can kick your drinks up a notch. Simply blend diced mango chunks along with the rest of your margarita ingredients, then pour into a glass of ice.
Truly says the Margarita-style seltzers are made with real ingredients found in the co*cktail, including lime juice concentrate, agave nectar, and sea salt.
