Easy Blue Margarita Recipe

I just love a vibrant and colorful cocktail, and these delicious blue margaritas are just that! Just look at them! Margaritas are one of my go-to cocktails when it starts to get hot outside. They are so refreshing with that perfect mix of sweet, salt, and acid. In this recipe, a traditional margarita gets amped up with Blue Curacao for the ultimate summer time tipple!

Tips for Beginners

• High-quality ingredients. Use a high quality blanco tequila and a good Blue Curacao. BOLS is absolutely second to none!
• Use fresh lime juice—it makes all the difference.
• Shake well. Shake all of the ingredients for a good 20-30 seconds to ensure they are mixed well.
• Use large ice cubes. They melt less quickly so they don’t dilute the drink.
• Avoid table salt. It is iodized and too strong for this cocktail.

Becky’s Tips

• Other salt options to try: 
  • Kosher salt has large granules but a milder flavor
  • Himalayan pink salt adds color to your rim with a very mild flavor
  • Fleur de sel is a more complex flavor (and quite expensive!)

These cool and refreshing margaritas always go well with a few nibbles like Crockpot Chex Mix, a bowl of roasted red pepper hummus with fresh veggies, and tortilla pinwheels.
