Equipment
- 1 margarita glass (or cocktail glass of your choice)
- 1 glass rimming plate (optional)
Ingredients
- 2 ounces blanco tequila (or tequila of choice)
- ½ ounce blue curacao
- 1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice (save a wedge for sprinkle rim)
- ¼ ounce agave syrup
- 1-2 drops yellow food coloring ( to make it green!)
- orange and black sprinkles
- margarita salt
Instructions
- Combine the purple and black sprinkles with the margarita salt by mixing them together. Place in a rimming bowl or on a small plate. Run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass and then dip the top into the sugar and salt mix. Add fresh ice to the glass and set aside.
- Add fresh ice to the cocktail shaker along with tequila, curacau liqueur, agave syrup, and lime juice. Drop 1-2 drops of yellow food coloring into the shaker. Place the top on the shaker and shake for 8-10 seconds until nice and cold.
- Strain into the prepared glass and enjoy immediatly.
Notes
- Use blanco tequila for a clear, vibrant green drink; aged tequilas can turn the color murky.
- Fresh lime juice is essential for bright flavor and true green color.
- When batching for a party, keep the ice separate until serving to avoid dilution.
- Rim glasses with black and purple sugar sprinkles for a dramatic Halloween effect.
- Turn it into a mocktail with limeade, melon or green apple syrup, and sparkling water.
