1
Prepare the Glass
Begin by preparing your glass. Run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass to moisten it.
2
Dip the rim of the glass into coarse sea salt to create the salted rim. Set aside.

3
Mix the Margarita Base
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, triple sec, and simple syrup.
4
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
5
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice.

6
Create the Galaxy Effect
Slowly pour the blue curaçao over the back of a spoon into the glass to create a layered effect.
7
Next, carefully pour the grenadine over the back of the spoon as well, allowing it to settle at the bottom.
