Blue Margarita

Ingredients

• 1½ fluid ounces tequila
• fluid ounces blue curacao liqueur (see Notes below)
• 1 fluid ounce lime juice
• 1 fluid ounce agave simple syrup
• Salt, for garnish (optional)
• Ice

Measurement Conversions: 1 fl oz = 1 shot = 30ml

How To Make

• Create salt-rimmed glass by sprinkling a few teaspoons of salt over the surface of a small plate or saucer. Then, rub one wedge of lime along the rim of a glass and then dip it into the salt so that the entire rim is covered.
• In a mixing glass or shaker, add ice, tequila, blue curacao, lime juice and agave simple syrup. Stir until well chilled.
• Pour the mixture into the salt-rimmed glass.

Notes

• Tequila - the type of tequila best suited for margaritas is Silver tequila. To make it confusing, it is also called Blanco, Platinum or White. This type will give your tequila a clean agave flavor.
• Orange liqueur - the classic margarita calls for Cointreau so use that if you can. Triple sec is often used as a substitute but tends to be comparatively sweet. Grand Marnier is generally not recommended due to the addition of cognac giving it a spicier more complex flavor.
• Agave Simple Syrup - can be made by mixing 2 parts warm water to 1 part agave syrup.
