Description

Plum Halloween Margarita is a romantic yet eerie Halloween cocktail. The perfect marriage of sweet plums and the classic flavors of a margarita.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 ounces Tequila (silver/blanco or reposado)
  • 1 ounce plum liqueur*
  • 1 ounce plum juice (or grape juice, preferably freshly squeezed)
  • 1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1/2 ounce Crème de Violette (optional, for color and floral touch)

Salt rim

  • 1/2 teaspoon butterfly pea powder (for color, optional)
  • 1 tablespoon crushed sea salt

Instructions

  1. Take a wedge of lime or plum and drag it around the edges of a chilled margarita glass.
  2. On a shallow plate, mix crushed sea salt with butterfly pea powder.
  3. Dip the glass on the shallow plate and swirl it a little to make sure the salt sticks. Set the glass aside.
  4. For the cocktail, add all the ingredients to a cocktail shaker along with ice. Shake for 30 seconds, or until you can see the metal of the shaker turns frosty on the outside. Strain into your glasses, and make sure you avoid your beautiful salt rim.
  5. I love to garnish it with a sliced piece of plum and frozen blackberries. But the sky is your limit here.

Notes

* Plum liqueur recipe. You can also get store-bought, but make sure you choose a sweet one with roughly 25% APV (50 proof). Avoid Slivovitz, that's a brandy.
