Among all the cocktails in the world, one of the most recognizable is the Green Mexican. Today it is difficult to imagine a bartender who does not know how to do it. However, the history of the creation of this shot, and it is precisely this category of alcoholic cocktails that it belongs to, began quite recently. This happened about two decades ago. In the mid-90s, an enterprising bartender from Ukraine came up with a unique recipe for a drink containing banana liqueur. The drink quickly won its fans and became popular not only in the country, but also far beyond its borders.
However, the essence of the story is that it was simply necessary for Sergei Kadatsky to come up with a recipe, because at that time a colossal batch of Pizang Ambon banana liqueur was delivered to his bar. He wasn't particularly popular with local customers. In the current situation, he simply needed to sell the liquor as quickly as possible. Then Sergei came up with the idea of developing the concept of a cocktail that contains this liqueur and will be in demand among visitors. As a result, the world received the “Green Mexican” shot with its original recipe and invigorating sweet and sour taste.
Nowadays, the “Green Mexican” is extremely popular not only in the post-Soviet space, but also in Europe and even America. Speculation as to the true reason why the cocktail was named this way and not otherwise continues to this day. The fact is that the only connecting thread with Mexico, besides the name, is the presence of tequila in the original recipe - traditional drink Mexicans.
But if you replace the main component, banana liqueur, with others, you can easily get similar cocktails. For example, when you add Blue Curacao you get Blue Mexican, and when you add Kahlua you get Brown Mexican. “Golden Mexican comes out if you add Gold Strike liqueur.” And in fact, there can be extremely many varieties and variations of the drink. All you have to do is enjoy original recipe or look for a more suitable analogue.
“Green Mexican” is a layered shot. To prepare it, you need to have certain experience and a number of skills. Just three layers:
You need to understand that the “Green Mexican” can stratify quite quickly. It should be “shot” as quickly as possible from the moment the drink is prepared. All layers except the first should be laid using a bar spoon. If the cocktail is not being prepared in a bar, but you have at home and do not have the appropriate equipment, you can use the tip of a knife for these purposes. Citrus fruits are suitable for snacks - lemon, lime or orange slices. Lime is preferable.
Among all the analogues of “The Green Mexican” one can highlight “Death of a Mexican”. This drink is much stronger classic recipe and is presented in a very original way. The main difference is that after such a mix it is very difficult to stand on your feet. It contains quite ordinary ingredients, but the unique combination is extremely “thermonuclear” and literally knocks you off your feet.
The first ingredient is a glass of beer (light). It should be completely free of foam. Leave a quarter of the container empty. It will soon be filled with the main component - tequila. But before that, add salt and hot Tabasco to the beer. Next, pour tequila into a separate glass and lower it into a glass of beer. The result is an original reaction. Beer foams heavily due to the carbon dioxide released.
Ideally, you should drink the cocktail as quickly as possible. It's better to do it in a couple of sips. Only real professionals can do this. The effect is simply mind-blowing - rapid intoxication.
