Description
A festive and spooky Hocus Pocus-themed margarita, perfect for Halloween parties or themed gatherings. This cocktail features a vibrant purple hue and a touch of eerie charm.
Ingredients
- 2 oz Tequila Blanco
- 1 oz Lime Juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.75 oz Blue Curaçao
- 0.5 oz Cranberry Juice
- 0.5 oz Simple Syrup (or to taste)
- Ice
- Optional: Black sanding sugar or edible glitter for rimming glasses
- Optional: Gummy worms or plastic spiders for garnish
Instructions
- If desired, prepare your margarita glasses by rimming them with black sanding sugar or edible glitter. To do this, run a lime wedge around the rim of each glass, then dip the rim into the sugar or glitter on a plate.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Add tequila blanco, lime juice, blue curaçao, cranberry juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.
- Secure the lid and shake well until the outside of the shaker is frosty.
- Strain the mixture into the prepared margarita glasses filled with fresh ice.
- Garnish with gummy worms or plastic spiders for a spooky touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your spellbinding Hocus Pocus Margarita!
Notes
- Adjust the simple syrup to your preferred sweetness.
- For a less sweet margarita, omit the simple syrup and rely on the sweetness of the cranberry juice and blue curaçao.
- If you don’t have blue curaçao, you can use a combination of triple sec and a drop of blue food coloring, but the flavor profile will be slightly different.
- Ensure your lime juice is freshly squeezed for the best flavor.
