/;Matador (cocktail) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Matador Type: Cocktail Primary alcohol by volume: Tequila

Served: shaken Standard garnish: lime slice or twist Standard drinkware: Cocktail glass Commonly used ingredients: 1 to 1.5 parts silver or blanco tequila 2 to 3 parts pineapple juice Juice of half a lime

Preparation: Mix the ingredients in a shaker half full of ice. Strain and serve in a chilled cocktail glass or champagne flute. Notes: Sour mix may be used in place of lime juice, depending on preference and availability. Champagne flutes are also commonly used for serving. The Matador is a tequila-based cocktail. Less widely known than the margarita, its structure is similarly simple, with three primary ingredients: silver or blanco tequila, pineapple juice, and lime juice. Its chief coupling of pineapple and a single spirit resembles a Jackhammer, a variant of the Screwdriver which substitutes pineapple juice for orange juice to mix with vodka. Matadors are often presented differently, either in a cocktail (or martini) glass or a champagne flute.

[edit] Background Blue agave, a plant which shares a botanical class with lilies, is the base of tequila. In particular, the sap from the heart or piña of the plant is what is used to produce the spirit. The word piña is also a common term for pineapple in Mexico and other Hispanic countries throughout the Americas. Pineapples, like agave, are an important crop in Mexico, as are limes; the cocktail combines all three Mexican exports. Due to typically high natural sugar content in many pineapple varieties, or use of sweetened commercially produced pineapple juice, additional sweeteners are not usually added.

In addition to these details, Matador is a commercial brand of tequila, though usage of a specifically branded spirit here is variable, similar to ingredient usage in other cocktails.
