Margarita Ingredients

Method

Margarita Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glasses

    Rub the rim of each glass with a lime wedge and dip into coarse salt to coat the rim. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the Base

    In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. Add ice and shake vigorously until well chilled.

  3. 3

    Create Layers

    Pour the mixed margarita base evenly into the prepared glasses, filling them halfway.

  4. 4

    Add Color

    Carefully pour a layer of blue curaçao over the back of a spoon to create a blue layer on top of the margarita base in each glass.

  5. 5

    Finish with Grenadine

    Slowly pour grenadine over the back of the spoon to create a red layer at the bottom of each glass, allowing the colors to create a beautiful gradient effect.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with lime wedges and serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
