"Tyler Joe Margaritas taste deceptively simple, but there's complexity to the balance of its most basic ingredients. Great tequila and fresh squeezed lime juice are the two non-negotiables, says Jeff Bell. We add a bit of sugar to balance the ABV in the Cointreau and the blanco tequila. People don't realize that ABV content adds up when you're only using lime to counterbalance the two spirits."
"So, wasabi came to mind. Using pepper as a base for infusing heat to your margarita can lead to an unpredictable result. Pepper oils are volatile, Bell tells us. When they're added to liquid, it envelops the whole drink, and the cocktail doesn't have fat in it to cut the kick. Wasabi gives this marg a flavorful heat that doesn't burn, and the cucumber juice gives it a delightful refreshing flavor."
Tyler Joe Margarita combines 1 1/2 oz blanco tequila, 1/2 oz Cointreau, 3/4 oz lime juice, and 1/4 oz simple syrup with a coarse-salted rim and lime wedge. Fresh tequila and fresh-squeezed lime juice are essential, and a bit of sugar balances the combined ABV of the spirits. Rub a chilled glass rim with lime and salt, shake tequila, Cointreau, lime, and ice, then strain over ice. A spicy variation uses 1 3/4 oz blanco tequila, cucumber and pineapple juices, lime, simple syrup, hot honey, and wasabi. Wasabi gives heat without burning; fine strain and garnish with cucumber and Tajin.
