A margarita featuring mezcal, sherry, lime juice, and Cointreau, served in a rocks glass with a spicy salted rim.
Kelli Solomon is a writer, editor, and recipe developer constantly dreaming up beautiful breads and badass briskets. While her tastes are eclectic, her favorite things involve fire or fermentation. She's contributed to Food52, where she has worked on some of their top series, including Bake It Up A Notch, Sweet Heat, The Secret Sauce with Grossi Pelosi, Off-Script with Sohla, Weeknight Dinners, and Cook and a Half.
One of the most important things to know about cocktails is that once you have the ratios memorized, there’s endless room to experiment. Take the margarita as our example: While exact quantities can shift slightly to suit personal tastes, the basic ratio is two parts tequila to one part each triple sec and fresh lime juice. From there, you can start swapping in a different spirit for the tequila.
The breakthrough came with Pedro Ximénez sherry, specifically from Valdespino. It’s a richly sweet, syrupy style of sherry with flavors of fig, toffee, and dried fruit. Our colleague and Food & Wine editorial director, Dylan Garret, put it perfectly: “It has a similar earthy profile to agave nectar, but also brings in notes of fig, toffee, raisins, molasses, and dried fruit.”
