Based on a simple but oddly beautiful hook created out of a sequence of four notes played on a Fairlight CMI sampler (it's the same sample of orchestral strings played on three different keys, the second note repeated at the end these became known as "orchestral stabs" to Fairlight fans, an arrangement gimmick that became a huge cliché by the middle of the '80s), "Moments in Love" introduces a theme and then crafts a slowly unfolding series of variations around it. Sort of a cross between Barry White's "Love's Theme" (the lavishly erotic all-time '70s slow jam) and the first track from Brian Eno's Music for Airports (the one with that nagging piano hook created by an unresolved chord progression), "Moments in Love" manages to be chilly and romantic at the same time. An online discography lists a whopping 18 different mixes of the song just covering the period between 19, not even counting the later remixes and tributes that came in the '90s with the advent of chillout rooms and ambient dub, a trend that "Moments in Love" in large part initiated. Made these? Let us know how it went in the comments below.Along with "Beat Box (Diversion One)," "Moments in Love" is the keystone to the entire Art of Noise project. 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.
