“I feel like there’s something of a revolution coming around, especially for women,” she says. Many haven’t even shied away from the chorus’ nod to pegging: “Give me five margaritas, Imma have some fun/Give me five margaritas, Imma put it in your bun.” Given the many backlashes the LGBTQ+ community has faced recently- boycotts over queer beer, hundreds of rights-stripping bills, threats made against drag brunches-she’s happy her song celebrating sexuality dropped at the start of Pride month. (“If I wasn’t married, honey,” she tells me over Zoom, “I would be deep in that ho phase right now.”) As “One Margarita” has spread, she’s been delighted to see that people of all genders and all sexualities have made lip syncs to her song. Moore, by her own admission, never had a “ho phase.” But she understands why someone would, and she wanted to shift focus from the abstinence messages in the original viral video. What the technology can’t do, without very specific human inputs, is make a viral sound that speaks to the moment of sexual moral panic the world seems to be in right now. But most of its inspirations, the sounds these models learn from, come from the past. Yes, AI can mimic Drake or allow producers to create songs where Grimes sings (pretty much) anything. As Amos Barshad noted earlier this week on WIRED, AI tools could usher in a whole new genre of music-they could also usher in a genre of very boring, predictable tunes. This comes to mind because when I’m not scrolling TikTok, I’m thinking about generative AI. And while songs about sex and booze are far from unique to this particular time, nearly everything else about “One Margarita” is. They’re about capturing the energy of the moment. Even if Lizzo is wrong and it isn’t the song of summer, it still speaks to the spontaneity that crystallizes certain tracks as the anthems of a season. Made these? Let us know how it went in the comments below.On June 1, Moore, Terrell, and Dixon released an official version of the song on Apple Music and Spotify. Need to serve a crowd? You can easily double (or triple) this recipe too in a pitcher to serve your crew with ease. You can use kosher salt or coarse sea salt for your rim-whatever you prefer/have on hand will work. While we love a good pitcher moment, we went classic with these margs by serving them in individual glasses with a salt rim and lime garnishes. While we love all our over the top margarita alternatives, when it comes to the classic, all you need is some lime juice (freshly squeezed please!). We used simple & reliable triple sec in these margaritas, but if you have a preferred Cointreau you’d like to use, feel free to swap it out! Craving something a little less sticky sweet? Try our skinny margarita, which swaps the orange liquor for OJ and agave. More of a mezcal lover? Feel free to swap it out for a smoky, earthy mezcal margarita. Unsure about what type of tequila to use? Blanco tequila is always a solid option, but a good reposado would also be an excellent choice (especially if you’re looking for a smooth, almost caramel-like flavor to turn into a Cadillac margarita). If you’re searching for the perfect tequila for your margarita, there’s no shortage of options. The key to making the best margarita is all in the ratio and balance of the ingredients. Now one of the most popular cocktails in the world, the margarita is thought to have started out as the variation on another prohibition-era drink called the "Daisy." Spanish for "daisy," the marg swapped in tequila for the requisite brandy and lime juice for lemon juice, and a classic was born. All you need are 3 ingredients and 5 minutes to make one for yourself-get those limes out, and let happy hour again! But, when we’re craving a simple, no frills, refreshing cocktail, this classic recipe is the one we turn to. We’ve done our fair share of experimenting with this classic cocktail, from adding in sweet fruit flavors (hello peach and pineapple), spicy kicks (lookin’ at you jalapeño), to icy, frozen varieties. Here at Delish, we can’t get enough of margaritas.
