Frozen Blue Margarita
Description
Frozen Blue Margarita is a frozen-style cocktail based on the classic margarita. Made by blending tequila, blue curaçao, and lemon juice with crushed ice, it features a beautiful blue color and sherbet-like texture. More visually striking than a regular margarita, it's popular as the perfect drink for hot summer days. The salt rim serves as an accent, allowing you to enjoy the exquisite balance of sweetness, acidity, and saltiness. This modern arrangement of traditional Mexican flavors is beloved at parties and resorts.

While there are multiple origin stories for the margarita, the most credible suggests it was created in 1938 by Carlos Herrera at restaurant 'Rancho La Gloria' in Baja California for dancer Marjorie King, who was allergic to most alcohols except tequila. The frozen style was introduced by American restaurant chains in 1971 and spread worldwide with the popularization of home blenders. The blue variation was later developed for visual appeal and gained popularity at parties and resorts.
