The black lava salt makes for a unique presentation on the rim of the glass and the blue curaçao is a perfect citrus compliment. This is a twist that still tastes like the original!

Add ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice and shake until cold. Pour into a rocks glass rimmed with black lava salt 🧂🌋 (I used black lava salt from Iceland). Garnish with a lime wedge.

Editor's Note

Black lava salt provides a striking visual contrast to the vibrant blue hue. This riff keeps the classic Margarita structure while adding a touch of theatrical flair.
