Purple Margarita
Today is the last day of #BBQWeek and I’m back with a color changing margarita made with the Butterfly Pea Flower Simple Syrup I shared last week.
If you are a fan of margaritas, you need to add this to your short list. It is that good!
I was so excited to see the Margarita of the Month at Chili’s for May. It is called a Radical ‘Rita and is also color changing, but made with blue curacao.
Be sure to read to the bottom of this post so you can see all of the other BBQ Week recipes.
You only need a few simple ingredients to make this cocktail. (the exact measurements, nutritional information and full recipe are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post).
