Spooky Color-Changing Margarita
A magical and spooky cocktail perfect for Halloween. This color-changing margarita uses purple cabbage-infused ice cubes that shift color when they meet the acidity of the margarita mixture.
Equipment
- Ice Cube Tray
- Pitcher
Ingredients
Cabbage Ice Cubes
- 2 cups sliced purple cabbage
- 4 cups boiling water
Margarita Base
- 8 oz blanco tequila
- 4 oz triple sec
- 3 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 cup lemonade
Garnish
- 4 lime wedges
- 1/4 cup kosher or coarse sea salt for rim
Instructions
- Put the sliced cabbage in a large heatproof bowl. Pour the boiling water over it and let it sit until the water turns a deep blue color, about 5 minutes. Strain out the cabbage and set the liquid aside to cool completely.
- Once the cabbage water is at room temperature, pour it into ice cube trays. Freeze for 4 hours, or until the cubes are solid.
- In a pitcher, stir together the tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and lemonade. Rub a lime wedge around the rims of your glasses, then dip the rims into the salt.
- Drop a few of the purple ice cubes into each prepared glass. Pour the margarita mixture over the ice. Garnish each glass with a lime wedge and serve immediately.
