Description

This Blue Margarita recipe is perfect for summer parties, poolside lounging, or any occasion when you're in the mood for something a little exotic and visually striking.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 oz Tequila (preferably silver for a cleaner taste)
  • 2 oz Blue Curaçao - for that captivating blue color and subtle orange flavor)
  • 1.5 oz Fresh Lime Juice (about 2 limes, depending on size and juiciness)
  • 1 oz Simple Syrup adjust according to your preferred sweetness, can also use a limemade mix 

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Glass: Start by preparing your serving glasses. If you enjoy a salted rim, run a lime wedge around the edge of each glass and then dip the rims into a plate of salt. You can do this step with just half the rim if you prefer. Fill the glasses with ice and set aside.
  2. Mix Your Cocktail: In a cocktail shaker, add a generous amount of ice, the tequila, blue curaçao, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. If you've opted for the additional orange liqueur, add it now. Secure the lid on your shaker and give it a vigorous shake, chilling and combining the ingredients thoroughly, usually for about 15 seconds.

Notes

  • Ice (for shaking and serving)
  • Salt for the rim (optional but recommended for that classic Margarita flair)
  • Lime wedges or rounds, for garnish
  • Optional: A small splash of orange liqueur for added depth (adjust blue curaçao accordingly)
