Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces Silver tequila
- 3 ounces Triple sec
- 2 ounces Fresh lime juice
- 2 ounces Simple syrup
- 2 ounces Grenadine
- 2 ounces Blue curaçao
- 4 cups Ice
- 0.25 cup Kosher salt
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
Instructions
Prepare the glasses by rubbing a lime wedge around the rims, then dipping the rims in kosher salt to create a salted edge. Set the glasses aside.
In a blender, combine silver tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and 2 cups of ice. Blend until smooth.
Pour a small amount of grenadine into the bottom of each prepared glass to create the red layer.
Pour the blended margarita slowly over the back of a spoon to create the white layer on top of the grenadine. Fill the glass about three-quarters full.
Rinse out the blender, then blend blue curaçao with 2 cups of ice until slushy. Slowly pour this over the back of a spoon on top of the margarita layer to create the blue layer.
Garnish each glass with a lime wedge and serve immediately.
