FAQ

What can I use instead of Blue Moscato?

If Blue Moscato isn’t available, opt for a high-quality sweet white Moscato combined with extra blue Curaçao for that iconic hue.

How do I make margaritas less sweet?

Reduce or skip the simple syrup. Add extra lime juice for a tarter taste to balance the sweetness naturally present in Moscato.

Can I make this cocktail in advance?

It’s best enjoyed freshly blended; however, you can pre-mix the liquid ingredients minus the ice and store them chilled until ready to blend with ice.

Is there an alcohol-free option?

Yes, replace the wine with blue grape juice and omit the tequila for a refreshing mocktail version!

What’s the best way to serve them?

Serve in chilled margarita glasses with a rim of coarse salt for a taste that’s as balanced in flavor as it is in aesthetics.
