Review:

The name might be more masculine, but it is still a classic Margarita. This 2:1:1 recipe is a touch on the sour side for most so you may want to add a 5ml (1 bar spoon) of agave or sugar syrup.

History:

Yes, you're right! This drink is exactly the same as a classically proportioned Margarita. It was first published in William J. "Billy" Tarling's 1937 Café Royal Bar Book, 16 years before the first written reference to a Margarita.
