One of the great classic cocktails is the margarita. It comes in so many varieties you could have a different one every day for over a month. To prove it, I’ve got links to 49 delicious margarita recipes.
Some people let the salt rim intimidate them. Don’t be like them! It’s easier than you think. I have a guide here that shows you how to rim a glass.
You can use a saucer, but I find it much easier to use this margarita rimmer I bought a couple of years ago. You just stamp the glass into the sponge soaked in lime juice or water, and then twist it in the compartment that holds the salt.

My Margarita is called a Sunrise at our house. It’s a Texas Margarita on the rocks with a splash of cherry juice and 3,4 cherries in the glass. Sometimes I splash the OJ and add more cherry juice. ( I use the juice from the har of cherries ).

Being a professional bartender/Barista is copareable to a professor. One must be having kwonledge of he/she does on daily basis. Of cause, it’s more of having idea.

For those who do not drink alcohol pure pomegranate juice, orange juice, 7up and many other juices or sodas can replace the 1 or 2 oz of alcohol. Only use sweetened replacements such a soda if the drink calls for sugar and leave sugar out.
I love making a bloody gin fizz using 100% pomegranate juice to replace the gin and add all other ingredients!
