Just for Phun: Patriotic Margaritas
As if you needed an excuse to enjoy a cold Margarita this weekend, we found the perfect patriotic Margarita recipe to celebrate the holiday! I’m thinking we could easily tweak this recipe for our frozen concoction makers… enjoy!
Red White and Blue Margaritas
Ingredients:
White Mix:
1 1/4 oz Silver Tequila
1 oz Patron® Citronge
1 1/2 oz Fresh Lime Juice
1 1/2 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
Red Mix:
2nd batch of White Mix
1 1/2 cup cut strawberries
Blue Mix:
1 1/4 oz Silver Tequila
1 oz Blue Curacao
1 1/2 oz Fresh Lime Juice
1 1/2 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
Garnish:
1 oz Anjeo Tequila
Lime slices and/or strawberries
Preparation:
- Tip: Put each batch in the freezer as you make them, so they all stay cold until ready to “assemble” in your glass
- Pour White Mix ingredients in blender over ice and mix till very frozen.
- Make another batch of the White Mix, this time adding strawberries.
- Make a batch of the Blue Mix
- When all three batches are ready, spoon each layer into salted Margarita glasses.
