A delicious Halloween Margarita perfect for the Halloween season. Tastes similar to a traditional margarita but is dark purple in color and has a dark purple salted rim.
Scoop a couple teaspoons of kosher salt into a Ziploc baggie.
Drip a couple drops of blue and red food coloring into the salt. Shake it around and rub the salt to mix it with the food coloring and turn it purple.(Orange or Green food coloring could be great for the rim too)
Pour the colored salt out onto a flat plate for rimming glasses.
Glass Rim
Run a lime or orange around the rim of an 8-10 oz glass. You can also dip it in agave syrup for more salty rim.
Dip the rim of the glass in the colored salt. Then fill it with ice. Set aside
