A coin margarita, also known as a silver coin margarita, is a specific style of Margarita cocktail.
Here’s what defines it:
- Silver Tequila: It’s made with silver (blanco) tequila.
- Cointreau: Cointreau, an orange liqueur, is the specific choice for this margarita, instead of other orange liqueurs or triple secs.
- Lime Juice: Fresh lime juice is an essential component.
- Other Potential Ingredients: Some recipes might also include:
– Simple syrup or agave nectar for sweetness, [according to What A Girl Eats].
– A salted rim on the glass.
The “silver coin” name is thought to come from the use of silver (blanco) tequila and Cointreau . The drink is referred to by both names depending on the region.
A coin margarita is a classic, well-balanced Margarita that highlights the flavors of silver tequila and Cointreau, balanced with fresh lime juice, often served with a salted rim.
What makes a coin margarita?
Next we’re going to go to our tripack or orange lour. We’re going to go 3/4. And last our tequila. And we’re going to do 1 and 1/4 oz. Next we’re going to add our ice. Give that a good shake.
What are the two types of Margaritas?
A traditional Margarita is usually served “Straight up”, which means it’s shaken with ice and then strained into a cocktail or margarita glass without ice. However, Margaritas can also be served “on the rocks” (shaken with ice and strained into a glass over fresh ice) or blended with ice to make a Frozen Margarita.
What is the difference between skinny and coin Margaritas?
A skinny margarita has less alcohol than a regular margarita. Instead of Gran Marnier, Cointreau, or triple sec, a skinny margarita substitutes some of the liquor ingredients with fresh orange juice or agave nectar. The drink is called a “skinny margarita” because it has less calories than a regular margarita.
