Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz Tequila
- 1 oz Blue curaçao
- 1 oz Prickly pear syrup
- 1.5 oz Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 oz Agave syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 0.25 cup Kosher salt
- 1 piece Lime wedge
- 1 piece Cactus fruit or lime slice (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare your serving glass by rimming it with salt: sprinkle kosher salt onto a small plate, rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass, and dip the rim into the salt so it's evenly coated. Set the glass aside.
In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, blue curaçao, prickly pear syrup, lime juice, and agave syrup (if using).
Add ice cubes to the shaker to fill it halfway, then secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients.
Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice cubes, then strain the margarita mixture from the shaker into the glass.
Garnish with a slice of cactus fruit or a lime slice for a festive touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Blue Cactus Margarita!
