Ingredients
-
2 oz silver tequila
-
½ oz lime juice
-
½ oz blue curaçao
-
1 oz cranberry juice
-
½ oz agave syrup (optional for sweetness)
-
Ice cubes
-
Lime wheel (for garnish)
-
Salt (for rimming the glass)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Glass
Run a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks or margarita glass. Dip the rim into salt (or sugar if you prefer a sweeter contrast).
Step 2: Build the Cocktail
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Pour in silver tequila, lime juice, blue curaçao, cranberry juice, and agave syrup. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 10–15 seconds until well chilled.
Step 3: Serve and Garnish
Fill your prepared glass with fresh ice cubes. Strain the cocktail into the glass. Garnish with a lime wheel for an extra touch of elegance.
Step 4: Enjoy!
Take a moment to admire the color contrast and layers before stirring. Sip and enjoy the sweet, tart, and citrusy explosion of flavors!
Notes
For the best flavor balance, use fresh lime juice instead of bottled lime juice. Chill your glass beforehand to keep your cocktail cool for longer. If you prefer a sweeter drink, increase the amount of agave syrup slightly.
