It is summertime and it is hot. August, with its blackberries, fresh watermelon and lime, might just be the perfect month for margaritas.
“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet,” once opined William Shakespeare. But would it taste the same? If you look at most modern cocktail menus, you will notice that many, if not most, drinks are now named after classic cocktails.
But a margarita is also rimmed in salt. And a crusta is specifically a type of drink that features citrus juice, fruit syrup — often maraschino liqueur or triple sec — and a spirit in a sugar- or salt- rimmed glass. Think brandy crusta, which is ironically probably better known as a Sidecar. Towards that end, I have taken the liberty of assembling four different versions for your enjoyment. Call them whatever you will. Just remember that Shakespeare’s name, as recorded on his baptismal document, was actually Gulielmus Shakspere — just saying.
