#Blue margarita full

You could salt your rim too if you want to be extra fancy, or just love salt with your margarita like I do. This Blue Margarita is an easy drink to make, and a fun way to switch up your typical margarita recipe, but still keep it really simple. You simply mix everything in a cocktail shaker, and pour it over ice. The Blue Curacao.It adds a bit of an orange flavor to the drink, which, if you are an orange lover and margarita fan then HELLO THIS DRINK IS FOR YOU! So what makes this Blue Margarita so addicting and special?

I MIGHT be the local crazy lady if it weren’t for him. My bearded mountain man is my partner in crime, always has my back. And THAT sums up our relationship and exactly why I celebrate him on Father’s Day. Which really means I said, “hey hon, could you make this Blue Margarita for my food blog this week…? You’ll get to drink it afterwards!” He couldn’t turn that one down. So, in honor of Father’s Day, I wanted to make something to celebrate him, that he would love. I think a Blue Margarita, similar to our Creamy Habanero Sauce, is one of the few things that will ALWAYS sound good to him. He will eat pretty much anything, don’t get me wrong, but he’s very particular about “what sounds good” each day. You see, my husband is a craving-based eater. He saw someone with it, and pretty quickly asked the bartender, UH WHAT IS THAT? And can I have one? And he was instantly hooked FOR LIFE. My husband first came across the infamous blue margarita there. This drink takes me back to my honeymoon in Mexico. That means I get to drink two blue margarita’s right? 😉 And, hey sis, maybe I’ll make you your first celebratory drink with this blue margarita! This week I was already planning on cheers-ing a margarita to my husband for Father’s Day, but now some CHEERS go out to my sister and her husband too. My son’s reaction to meeting him was PRICELESS, “I’m gonna love him SO much! TEN MILLION PIZZA’s!” (in our house we measure love in pizza’s!).

He has a head full of hair and the cutest little nose. Hubby is sick, baby girl is getting her 5th tooth, and there’s all sorts of crazy going on in my extended family.īut GOOD NEWS: My sister had her baby!!! She is doing great and her son is healthy too. And because I like a little festivity with my drink, we’re throwing in some blue curaçao, because…FUN.You know those weeks where you feel like you might as well be a walking zombie? Well, I’m feeling that way right about now guys. In other words, it makes for a far more palette-able drink. Adding just a little bit will cut the tartness of the limes, and tone down the tequila burn. Third (and this is the “secret”) simply syrup. We like to use silver tequila, preferably 100% agave. I’m not saying you need to throw down $60 on a bottle of Patron, but don’t skimp and grab something off the bottom shelf either. For a smooth margarita that isn’t sickly sweet, or taste like a bucket mixer at a beach party, it comes down to the quality of ingredients. Picking a good tequila is step one. Fortunately for you all, I have such a recipe. It needs the right amounts of tart/sweet/smooth drinkability to be a big hit. However, it needs to be balanced appropriately. The margarita is wildly popular for a reason. Especially with this heinous heatwave, it’s almost refreshing. Cocktail know-how is a necessity if you want to be a respectable host.
