Enjoy this fun cocktail with the ladies (or anyone 21 and over!) in your life.
Ingredients
· 1 ½ ounces Teslon tequila
· 1 ounce triple sec
· ½ ounce lime juice
· 2 ounces lemonade
· 3 ounces butterfly pea flower tea
· Lemon or lime garnish
Directions
Sugar the rim (optional)
· Fill a small plate with a circle of agave. Fill another plate with sugar. Dip your glass in the agave and then into the sugar. When it is covered with your desired amount of sugar, fill ¾ of the glass with ice and set aside.
Make the butterfly pea flower tea
· Bowl 2-3 cups of water
· Add butterfly pea flower tea (can be found on Amazon)
· Allow 5-6 minutes to steep for the beautiful ocean blue natural color
· Strain over a loose tea strainer or cheesecloth
· Option to refrigerate or use right away (may need a few more ice cubes if you go the latter route)
Make the margarita mix
· Add tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and a few ice cubes to a cocktail shaker. Cover and shake vigorously for 10 seconds. Give the mix a taste and stir in a teaspoon or two of sweetener, if desired.
Strain and add the magic
· Strain the margarita mix over the ice cups. Add the lemonade. For the magical color-changing effect, slowly pour in the butterfly pea flower tea. Garnish with a lime or lemon wheel. Serve and enjoy.
