Add the top to the shaker and shake 10 to 20 seconds until the drink is cold. To make the first blue layer add 1 ounce blue curaçao, 1 ounce lime juice, 2 ounces tequila, and 1/2 ounce agave syrup.
#Blue margarita bottle full#
Fill 2 highball or pint glasses full of ice.Once the red layer is in place serve immediately, cheers! Just like with the white layer use the back of the spoon to slowly pour the wine overtop the white layer in each glass to float it on the top. Going slow and evenly over the back of the spoon will help the white layer float on top of the blue layer better.įor the red layer you will use about 2 ounces for each glass (depending on the glass size). Using the back of a spoon slowly pour half of the white layer over top the back of the spoon over the blue margarita in one glass. Add 1 ounce cointreau, 1 ounce lime juice, and 2 ounces tequila to a shaker. To make the white layer add a handful of ice to the shaker. Rinse out the shaker to remove any access blue margarita. Carefully divide the blue margarita evenly between the two glasses so that it fill up the cup about 1/3 of the way. I happen to love cabernet so that is what I always end up using.įor a complete detailed list of the ingredients continue towards the bottom of the page.įill 2 highball or pint glasses full of ice. Red Wine – Chose your favorite red wine, no need to go find a special kind use what you already drink.Cointreau is the classic liqueur found in a margarita but you may use other orange flavored liqueurs in its place, triple sec is a popular substitution. Cointreau – This is for the white layer.If you can’t find agave syrup near you no worries you can just use plain simple syrup instead. Agave Syrup – When using agave syrup it is the one variety of simple syrup that I tend to buy pre-made over making myself.Blanco Tequila – You will want blanco (also known as silver tequila) for this drink.You will need at least 2 limes, 3 if the limes are small. Fresh Limes – Fresh limes are a must, if you are going to go through all the trouble of making a fancy cocktail please please don’t use the bottled stuff, the flavor difference is huge.There aren’t really any substitutes for Blue Curaçao but you should be able to find it sold by a few different brands. Blue Curaçao – This is an orange flavored blue colored liqueur that will make the blue layer the color that it is.Ice – Enough for 2 glasses + for the shaker to shake the two different colors of margaritas.So let’s see what we need to make this incredible drink. This is because sugar is a heavy ingredient and so to keep the layers from mixing too much they had to have a slightly different weight.Īnd then to top them both off a red wine worked perfect because the tequila is heavier than wine. You will see with the blue layer a little bit of agave syrup is added and with the white layer there is none. I calculated what the different layers would be so that they would layer properly. So these red, white, and blue margaritas were born. The next weekend I was already on top of it, sure it was the middle of winter but I was going to be making 4th of July Margaritas and loving them! (Both of these drinks btw are so delicious)įrom there my mind wandered… and it ended up on the possibility of making a floating red, white, and blue margarita but with a wine floater on top.
A Devil’s Margarita is a classic margarita with a red wine floater on top. It looked so pretty and made me think about making a devil’s margarita in the near future. I actually thought of the idea after making a whiskey sour with a red wine float on top.
These fabulous margaritas came to me on a dark and cold winter’s evening… obviously I was really dreaming of summertime. Red, White, & Blue Cocktail for 4th of July
