Pop Culture Kitchen: Color Changing Margarita

This cocktail is basically magic! Celebrate Spooky season with this incredible color changing Margarita!

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE COLOR-CHANGING ICE:

  • 2 cups red cabbage, chopped
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups tequila

FOR THE MARGARITA SLUSHY:

  • 1 (12 ounce) can limeade
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups tequila
  • 1/2 cup triple sec

 

INSTRUCTIONS

    1. In a large, heat-proof bowl, carefully pour 4 cups of boiling water over the cabbage. Allow to sit for 5 minutes, or until the water is very saturated with blue or blueish purple color.
    2. Strain the mixture to remove the cabbage and pour the blue water into a large container such as a 13×9″ baking dish. Mix in 1 1/2 cups of tequila. Cover and freeze. DO NOT STRESS! You can’t taste the cabbage at all!
    3. In another container, combine the limeade, triple sec, 4 cups of water, and 1 1/2 cups of tequila. Cover and freeze until solid.
    4. Use a spoon or ice cream scooper to stir and break apart the ice to create a slushy consistency. Scoop the margarita mix into glasses just over 3/4 of the way full, then top with the blue slushy ice. Stir together for the color-changing effect and enjoy! (Pictures below show the color changing effect of the same drink.)
