I’m a big fan of a delicious summer cocktail, especially one that’s pretty. There’s something about a beautiful drink that just makes it taste better going down – what do you think? This margarita cocktail fits the bill.
It’s got the margarita flavor that you’ll love with the yummy, subtle citrus flavor of the Blue Curaçao.
This blue curacao margarita could be the signature drink at your next party or wedding with a blue color palette. Yep, I just love themed cocktail recipes!
Doesn’t my blue curacao margarita look awesome? And I haven’t even mentioned the sugar/salt combination on the rim of the glass.
It goes along perfectly with your beverage because it’s salty and sweet at the same time, which is a nice twist on a traditional margarita. I love it!
Curacao Margarita Recipe
For tequila I love 1800 Silver . . . it depends on your personal preference, but this tequila is a favorite of mine. It’s made from 100% Weber blue agave, and I feel it goes really well with the blue curacao.
The blueberries are really just a fancy touch more so than a drink flavor. They compliment the curacao and the color of the beverage, but they aren’t a must have.
