Ingredients

  • 1/2 oz lemon juice
  • 1/2 oz lime juice
  • 1/2 oz simple syrup
  • 1 1/2 oz tequila
  • 1/4 tsp activated charcoal
  • Purple sugar for rimming
  • Dried orange slice for garnish
  • Edible glitter for garnish

Instructions

  • Start by preparing the glass. Spread the purple sugar on a shallow plate.
  • Run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass, then dip the rim into the sugar, coating it evenly. Set the glass aside.
  • In a cocktail shaker, add about 4 ice cubes.
  • Using a jigger, measure and add the lemon juice, lime juice, simple syrup, tequila añejo, and activated charcoal to the shaker.
  • Shake the mixture vigorously until frothy, about 10 times.
  • In the prepared glass, add a few fresh ice cubes.
  • Strain the shaken margarita into the glass over the ice.
  • Add a dash of edible glitter to the top of the drink and stir gently to incorporate the sparkle.
  • Garnish with a dried orange slice for a spooky, decorative touch. Serve immediately and enjoy your Spooky Halloween Margarita.

Notes

Pro Tips
  • For an extra spooky effect, consider using black or dark purple sugar for the rim.
  • Adjust the amount of simple syrup to suit your sweetness preference.
  • Activated charcoal can affect the absorption of certain medications, so enjoy this cocktail mindfully.
  • Use a chilled glass for a more refreshing experience and to keep the drink cold longer.
