🌊 Shark Week Margarita Recipe
(Serves 1)
Ingredients:
- 2 oz El Jimador Blanco Tequila
- 1 oz Blue Curaçao
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 1 oz simple syrup (or agave syrup)
- 1 oz pineapple juice (for tropical flair)
- Crushed ice
- Optional: red grenadine “shark bite” drizzle
- Garnish: lime wedge, blue sugar rim, or gummy shark
Instructions:
- Rim the glass: Run a lime wedge around the rim of your margarita glass and dip it in blue sugar or coarse salt.
- Shake it up: In a cocktail shaker, combine El Jimador, blue curaçao, lime juice, simple syrup, and pineapple juice with plenty of ice. Shake vigorously.
- Pour and garnish: Strain into your prepared glass filled with crushed ice.
- Add drama: For a fun Shark Week twist, gently drizzle a bit of grenadine into the center of the drink to simulate a shark “attack.” It will sink and swirl like blood in the water—spooky and spectacular!
- Top it off: Garnish with a lime wedge or float a gummy shark for the ultimate themed touch.
