Blue Margarita
These incredibly refreshing blue margaritas are SO easy to make. They only require four ingredients, and they don't require a blender or cocktail shaker!
My blue margarita is one of the most gorgeous summer drinks out there! Doesn't the color remind you of tropical waters? They taste amazing, too, with a bright citrus flavor. They're great for hot summer days, patriotic parties, or celebrating special occasions. I'd suggest double or even tripling the recipes for parties, as these go down easy! I like enjoying these over ice in a glass. However, it would also be fantastic frozen. Blend with ice in a blender for a fabulous frozen concoction! Kids wanting in on the blue drink fun? Whip them up a nonalcoholic Sonic Ocean water instead!
Ingredient Notes/Shopping Tips
- Tequila: Use blanco tequila. Its mild flavor allows the other ingredients to shine. In addition, its clear color allows the blue color to be the star. I like Patron and Casamigos best. Jose Cuervo is also a good choice.
- Use Leftovers In: Tequila Sunrise, Liquid Marijuana, or Frozen Strawberry Margaritas
- Triple Sec: I like Cointreau. Bols is also a good budget option.
- Substitutions: Grand Marnier is more expensive as it's a blend of orange liqueur and cognac.
- Use Leftovers In: Hippie Juice or Watermelon Margs
- Lime Juice: Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor. I find bottled versions to be too acidic.
- Blue Curacao: It is orange forward and slightly more bitter than triple sec. I like Drillauds. Bols is also good.
- Use Leftovers In: Blue Hawaiis, or Blue Lagoons
❓FAQs❓
Yes, blend all ingredients with 3-4 cups of ice. You may need to blend in batches.
️Tips️
- Start with ice-cold ingredients.
- Chill your glasses, too, to keep your drink cold.
- Roll your lime on the counter and/or microwave it for 20-30 seconds to get the most juice from it.
