Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 2 oz silver tequila (100% agave for the best quality)
- 1 oz blue curaçao (for the vibrant color and citrusy sweetness)
- 1 oz fresh lime juice (freshly squeezed for the best taste)
- ½ oz agave syrup (adjust to taste)
- ½ oz triple sec or orange liqueur (adds extra depth and sweetness)
- ¼ tsp edible glitter (silver or blue) (for the celestial effect)
- Ice (for shaking and serving)
Rim & Garnish:
- Lime wedge (for rimming the glass)
- Coarse salt or sugar (for the rim)
- Edible star sprinkles or silver sugar pearls (optional, for decoration)
- Lime wheel or orange slice (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Glass
Take a margarita or coupe glass and rub a lime wedge around the rim. Dip the rim into coarse salt or sugar on a plate to coat the edge. If you want an extra cosmic effect, mix some edible glitter or silver sugar pearls with the salt or sugar before rimming the glass.
Step 2: Mix the Cocktail
In a cocktail shaker, add the silver tequila, blue curaçao, lime juice, triple sec, agave syrup, and a pinch of edible glitter. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well-chilled.
Step 3: Strain and Serve
Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice. For a smooth look, use a fine mesh strainer to catch any ice shards.
Step 4: Add the Celestial Touch
Sprinkle a tiny pinch of edible glitter directly into the glass and give it a gentle swirl with a stirrer or straw. Watch as the glitter creates a mesmerizing, swirling effect, just like a meteor shower in a glass.
Step 5: Garnish and Enjoy
Garnish with a lime wheel or an orange slice on the rim. For an extra magical effect, float a few edible star sprinkles on the surface. Serve immediately and enjoy your cosmic cocktail!
Notes
- Best Tequila Choice: Always use 100% agave silver tequila for a smooth and high-quality margarita.
- How to Get the Best Color: Blue curaçao provides the signature color, but you can enhance it with a drop of purple food coloring for a deeper celestial hue.
- Shimmering Effect: Edible glitter works best in clear spirits—use silver or blue glitter for the best visual impact.
- Serving Temperature: This margarita tastes best ice-cold, so make sure your ingredients and glass are well-chilled.
