Midnight Blue Margarita
Equipment

- 4 ounces blue curaçao
- 4 ounces fresh lime juice
- 2 ounces simple syrup
- Ice cubes
- Black sea salt
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Run a lime wedge around the rim of four margarita glasses and dip each rim into black sea salt to coat it evenly.
- Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes.
- Pour the tequila, blue curaçao, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup into the shaker.
- Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
- Fill each prepared glass with fresh ice cubes.
- Strain the shaken mixture evenly into the four glasses.
- Add a lime wedge to the rim of each glass before serving.
Notes
Use fresh lime juice rather than bottled for the cleanest taste. If the blue color looks too light after shaking, add an extra half ounce of blue curaçao to deepen the shade. Black sea salt gives a nice contrast on the rim, but regular salt works if that is what you have on hand. Serve the drinks right after pouring so the ice does not dilute the color too quickly.
