This is such a fun cocktail! A margarita made with orange juice, lime juice, and tequila. A blue curacao floater is put on top of the drink, and it's garnished with a maraschino cherry and lime wedge. This tequila cocktail was inspired by Marge Simpson (Marge-arita) and went perfectly with my Treehouse of Horror night to celebrate Halloween. Though this cocktail is tasty year round!
• 4 ounces orange juice
• 1 ounce lime juice
• 1 1/2 ounces silver tequila
• 1 ounce blue curacao
• Maraschino cherries or lime wedge, for garnish
➊ In a cocktail shaker, combine orange juice and lime juice. Add a couple of ice cubes, and shake for about 10 seconds until chilled. Strain into a cocktail glass.
➋ In a separate glass, stir together tequila and blue curacao. Slowly pouring over the back of a bar spoon, pour tequila/blue curacao over the orange & lime juice mixture so that it floats on top.
➌ Garnish with maraschino cherries or a lime wedge. Stir cocktail slightly before enjoying.
