For fourteen seasons, Alton Brown hosted Good Eats. It took cooking shows to a place they had not explored: the science and stories behind the food. Food was not the only thing Mr. Brown explored. He spent an episode or two on cocktails. One of them demonstrated a new way to make a Margarita. Being a fan of Margaritas AND Alton Brown, this was a recipe #100DaysOfCocktails wanted to try.
Tequila was a later addition to the bartender's tool kit. Classic cocktails made with tequila are barely a handful, but one of them is royalty. The Margarita may not have a distinct origin story, but it does have a distinct flavor that makes it a staple in any bar you go to. #100DaysOfCocktails looks at one of the descendants of the Daisy (Day 10).
