Blue Margarita for Carmen (with Curaçao)

Step 1

Run a lime slice all around the rim of your glass and dip the glass rim into the salt, coating well.

Step 2

Add the required amounts of tequila, Curaçao, lime juice and syrup into your shaker with the ice cubes. If you don't have a shaker, just use a jug.

Step 3

Shake it all up really well, both to mix as well as to chill the drink. If you don't have a shaker, just stir it all up in the jug.

Step 4

Taste, add more syrup or lime juice if you think it needs it.

Step 5

Pour the blue margarita, minus the ice cubes, into your prepared glass, stick a lime slice on and sip away!

Step 6

Place the water and sugar into a small pan and bring to a boil.

Step 7

Simmer for 10 minutes on the lowest heat to allow the flavours to develop and the syrup to thicken.

Step 8

Leave to cool, no need to place in the fridge.
