Cocktail Menu: Maybe Margarita
They might be recognised for theatre and flair, but the Maybe Sammy crew know the heart of great bartending is in nailing the basics, and with Bars & Cocktails the internationally acclaimed team turn their attention to one of the most in-demand cocktails behind any bar: the Margarita.
Stepping away from the showmanship they’re known for, Hunter Gregory and Steven Payne held a pre-service masterclass at MGallery’s Playford Hotel in Adelaide, focusing on what really matters behind the bar: a deep understanding of the classics.
Rather than reinventing the classics, they focus on consistency – and here’s their go-to recipe for delivering their crowd-favourite Maybe Margarita perfectly, every time.
Margarita
Ingredients:
- 45ml tequila
- 20ml Cointreau
- 30ml lime
- 5ml agave syrup
