But, if you’d like a salt rim, here’s how to do it: Add a chunky kosher salt or flake Maldon salt to a small plate. I don’t salt the rim of my glasses for this margarita.Turn the heat under the pan to medium and stir as you bring it to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Here’s how: Add equal parts (usually I do 1 cup of water to 1 cup of white sugar) to a saucepan. Save money and make your own simple syrup.So for this margarita, try using a 2:1 ratio sour to sweet, if it isn’t sweet enough, you can always add more simple syrup but if it’s it too sweet, you can’t take it away.

I like more of a sour mixture with a hint of sweet. I find store bought sweet and sour way too sweet. Always make your own sweet and sour mix as you can control the ingredients.Use the best ingredients you can find, just know that blue Curacao is not premium and there is no substitute.This post may contain affiliate links, which means I get a small commission if you click the link and buy something. Once you make your own sour mix, you will never go back. Why? Because the mix you get in the store is unbearably sweet. Homemade sweet and sour mix is always the way to go. Why do I advocate homemade sweet and sour? I prefer to make cocktails with at least mid-level ingredients, but if I don’t have the budget, use the best you can afford. Does this margarita need premium ingredients?

So, blue curacao tastes like orange, just as triple sec does. The only difference between the two is a natural blue dye is added to triple sec. Is blue curaçao liqueur the same as triple sec? I make this electric blue marg whenever I want a pop of color at my cocktail party.

It tastes like a classic traditional margarita, but it’s much colorful and pretty. If you want to wow your guests, serve them these delicious and easy blue margaritas. All you need is tequila, blue Curacao, lime juice, and simple syrup to make this refreshing summer cocktail recipe. Get ready to be transported to the tropics with this electric blue margarita.
