Midnight Blue Margarita

The Margarita is a quintessential sunny-day drink. This dark blue variation on that classic is a little sweeter and looks a lot more dramatic. You could use lime instead of lemon or use more lemon if you want it more tart. Photo by Jackson Stakeman.

    The syrup recipe lists “.5 cups water” twice. Is that a typo or should it be 1 cup?

    1. @JewelsSparkle Fixing that typo. It should be .5 cups water + .5 cups sugar. Thanks for catching that!
