How to Perfect Your Blue Margarita

Choosing the Right Tequila

The type of tequila you use can significantly affect the taste of your Blue Margarita. For a smoother, more refined flavor, I recommend using a mid-range to premium-quality tequila blanco.

Avoid lower-quality tequilas as they can yield a harsher finish, which isn’t what you want in a refreshing cocktail.

Customizing Your Blue Margarita

One of the beauties of the Blue Margarita is how customizable it is. Prefer a sweeter cocktail? Add a touch more simple syrup. Want to dial up the citrus zing? Squeeze in more lime juice.

Feel free to experiment with the ratios until you find your perfect balance. You can even add a splash of orange juice for a slight twist on the classic flavor.

Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Strainer
  • Jigger or Measuring Tool
  • Glass (preferably a margarita glass)
  • Small plate (for salt or sugar)
  • Knife and cutting board (for lime)

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 oz. tequila
  • 1 oz. blue curaçao
  • 1 oz. freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 0.5 oz. simple syrup
  • Coarse salt or sugar for rimming the glass optional
  • Lime wheel or wedge for garnish
  • Ice cubes

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Glass: Begin by rimming your glass with coarse salt or sugar. To do this, run a lime wedge around the edge of the glass and then dip it in salt or sugar, creating a nice even coating.
  • Fill the Shaker: Fill a cocktail shaker about halfway with ice cubes. This will help chill the ingredients nicely.
  • Add the Ingredients: Pour in the tequila, blue curaçao, lime juice, and simple syrup into the shaker. You can adjust the quantities slightly based on your preference for sweetness or strength.
  • Shake It Up: Secure the lid on your shaker and give it a good shake for about 15-20 seconds, or until everything is well-combined and chilled.
  • Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into your prepared glass filled with ice. If you prefer a more polished presentation, use larger ice cubes which melt slower, keeping your drink well-chilled without diluting the flavors.
  • Garnish and Enjoy: Finally, garnish your Blue Margarita with a lime wheel or wedge. Sip, savor, and let the tropical vibes wash over you!
