Greetings dear #drinkslovers.
Today I want to share with you a drink that is both an explosion of flavors and a visual spectacle. The drink in question is called “Blue Margarita” and is mainly made up of a mix of Silver Tequila and Blue Curacao, resulting in a light drink that many people would consider strong.
The first time I tried it was in a club and what caught my attention was how beautiful it looked illuminated by the lights of the place. When I touched the glass I felt the freshness of the ice and when I brought it to my mouth I looked inside and the first thing that came to my mind was a landscape of huge icebergs floating in the immense blue sea. After moving the glass a little, it no longer looked like ice, it was something else, something indescribable, something out of this world. Undoubtedly, it was a beautiful experience and I keep the memory fondly, because it was one of those moments in which I could appreciate the power that some cocktails have to convey feelings through their aesthetics and flavor.
Saludos queridos #drinkslovers.
Hoy quiero compartir con ustedes una bebida que es una explosión de sabores y a la vez un espectáculo visual. La bebida en cuestión se llama “Blue Margarita” y está conformada principalmente por la mezcla de Tequila Silver y Curacao Azul, dando como resultado un trago ligero que muchas personas considerarían fuerte.
La primera vez que lo probé fue en un club y lo que más me llamó la atención fue lo hermoso que se veía iluminado por las luces del lugar. Al tocar la copa sentí la frescura del hielo y al llevarla a mi boca miré el interior y lo primero que vino a mi mente fue un paisaje de enormes icebergs flotando en el inmenso mar azul. Tras mover un poco la copa, ya no parecía hielo, era algo más, algo indescriptible, algo fuera de este mundo. Sin lugar a dudas, fue una experiencia hermosa y guardo el recuerdo con cariño, pues fue uno de esos momentos en los cuales pude apreciar el poder que tienen algunos cócteles para transmitir sentimientos a través de su estética y sabor.
Ingredients // Ingredientes
✔️ 60 ml of Olmeca Silver Tequila | ✔️ 60 ml de Tequila Olmeca Silver |
✔️ 30 ml of Blue Curacao | ✔️ 30 ml de Curacao Azul |
✔️ 2 lemons | ✔️ 2 limones |
✔️ Salt for frosting | ✔️ Sal para escarchar |
✔️ Ice | ✔️ Hielo |
Step by step // Paso a paso
We will start by cutting the two lemons. One of the lemons will be used as the active ingredient, while the other will be used for decoration and frosting. We cut a thin slice and refrigerate it for the end.
Comenzaremos cortando los dos limones. Uno de los limones se utilizará como ingrediente activo, mientras que el otro se utilizará como decoración y para el escarchado. Cortamos una rodaja fina y la refrigeramos para el final.
We use the rest of the lime for decoration, to rub it around the middle of the rim of the glass and then, when it comes into contact with the salt, the medium frosting will remain. The frosting will be medium, since it is to taste and salt will be used due to the presence of tequila as an ingredient.
Utilizamos el resto del limón de decoración, para frotarlo por la mitad del borde de la copa y luego, al entrar en contacto con la sal, quedaría el escarchado medio. El escarchado se hará de tipo medio, ya que es a gusto y se empleará sal debido a la presencia del tequila como ingrediente.
After frosting the glass, add 60 ml of “Olmeca Silver” tequila, also known as white tequila. Normally, we would add the ice before mixing the ingredients, but there is a risk of losing the frosting due to the moisture produced by the ice as the glass cools. Still, you are free to do so now if you wish, although the resulting color may vary.
Luego de escarchar la copa, agregaremos 60 ml de tequila “Olmeca Silver”, también conocido como tequila blanco. Normalmente, agregaríamos el hielo antes de mezclar los ingredientes, pero se corre el riesgo de perder el escarchado debido a la humedad producida por el hielo al enfriar la copa. Aun así, eres libre de hacerlo ahora si lo deseas, aunque el color resultante puede variar.
Next, we will add 30 ml of “Curacao Azul” of the “Cubay” brand. This curacao in combination with tequila, make up the body and soul of the drink. Besides its intense flavor, the curacao also adds a beautiful dark blue color.
A continuación agregaremos 30 ml de “Curacao Azul” de la marca “Cubay”. Este curacao en combinación con el tequila, conforman el cuerpo y alma de la bebida. Aparte de su intenso sabor, el curacao también le agrega un bello color azul oscuro.
To complement, we will squeeze a whole lemon into the glass, and we will immediately notice how the blue color turns greenish, as if it were the deep waters of the sea. We do not only add the lemon to change the color of the drink, but its real purpose is to enhance the flavor of the tequila.
Para complementar, exprimiremos un limón entero dentro de la copa, y notaremos inmediatamente cómo el color azul se torna verdoso, como si se tratase de las aguas profundas del mar. No solo agregamos el limón para cambiar el color del trago, sino que su verdadero objetivo es realzar el sabor del tequila.
Afterwards, add the ice to the glass, although if you have already done so, you can continue to the next step. These pieces of ice will reflect a light blue color and would add an aesthetic touch apart from its cooling function.
Posteriormente, agregamos el hielo a la copa, aunque si ya lo habías hecho, puedes continuar al siguiente paso. Estos pedazos de hielo reflejarán un color azul claro y vendrían aportando un toque estético a parte de su función refrigerante.
Finally, take the slice of lemon that we were refrigerating, cut it and place it on the rim of the glass on top of the frosting. Just touch up the frosting and enjoy this delicious drink.
Para finalizar, tomaremos la rodaja de limón que estábamos refrigerando, le haremos un corte y la colocaremos en el borde de la copa encima del escarchado. Solo queda retocar el escarchado y disfrutar de este delicioso trago.
