Smoked Margarita Sour (with Smoked Tequila)
This is one of my favorite twists on a classic margarita! All the flavor of a kick ass margarita elevated to a whole new dimension – a Smoked Margarita Sour!
The magical, yet simple addition that makes this one impressive margarita is actual smoke, which creates a smoke infused smokey tequila, along with smoked salt! Another twist that I added to this smoked margarita sour is the foamy top, a key feature of a pisco sour.
The classic way of incorporating foam into a cocktail is with the use of egg whites. Plus, with the advent of molecular gastronomy, foam cocktails have become even more prevalent and popular.
What’s the difference between using aquafaba vs egg whites to create the foam in sour cocktails?
Using aquafaba makes the cocktail vegan! So if you don’t like egg whites in your cocktail, or want to make it vegan, aquafaba is a great alternative for anything from a pisco sour, to an old fashioned sour or any type of cocktail that uses egg whites to create a layer of foam on top.
It’s easy to find and simple to incorporate. Chickpea cans are easy to find in any grocery store or supermarket. Plus, the chickpea water (aquafaba) is something that usually gets discarded. Aquafaba is now widely used for recipes that call for whipped egg whites because of its ability to foam up when whisked.
It doesn’t affect the taste of the cocktail! This is either a pro or a con depending on your preference. Egg whites DO change the mouthfeel of the cocktail, making it creamier. Aquafaba does make the cocktail just a tad creamy, or more accurately “smoother” to drink, but certainly not to the extent that egg whites do.
INGREDIENTS
INSTRUCTIONS
SMOKED TEQUILA
Place the tequila in a large glass bottle, with plenty of room for the smoke. A decanter with a plug-in cap should work perfectly well.
Place the wood chips in the smoke gun receptor (please read your smoke gun instructions to find out the right way to use it). Insert the pipe from the smoke gun into the bottle.
Activate/light the wood chips to create smoke, and fill the bottle with the cherry wood smoke.
Quickly close the bottle while it's full of smoke, without letting any of the smoke escape. Turn off the smoke gun.
Shake (or rock) the bottle gently a few times, and then allow the smoke to infuse the tequila for about 15 minutes. The color of the tequila will change into a very light yellow. Release the smoke in the bottle and store the tequila until needed.
This recipe CAN BE DOUBLED OR TRIPLED. You may need to smoke it for longer if you're using larger quantities of tequila.
FOR THE GLASS AND GARNISHES
Rub the lime wedge along the rim of both serving coupe glasses. Dip the rim in the smoked salt. Set aside.
SMOKED MARGARITA SOUR
Place all the ingredients (except for the ice) in a cocktail shaker. Use either aquafaba (for a vegan alternative) or egg whites, but do not use both.
Shake the cocktail vigorously for at least 10 seconds or longer for a dry shake, to foam up the aquafaba/egg white.
Add the ice and shake the cocktail for just a few seconds to chill the drink.
Pour the margarita into the coupe glasses and garnish with a slice of lime. You can either let the lime slice float on the margarita foam, or you can place a threaded lime slice on a cocktail pick, in your cocktail.
