Ingredients
- 6 ounces Blue Curacao
- 1 cup Rancho La Gloria Margarita Wine Cocktail
- 2 ounces Fresh Lime Juice
- 0.5 ounces Agave
- 2 – 2.5 cups Ice
Preparing the Frostbite Margarita
Blue Curacao Layer
Let’s start with the first layer. In a blender, toss together the Blue Curacao, fresh lime juice, and agave. Blend these together until they’re nicely mixed. Now, gradually add in 1 cup of ice, blending again until you get a smooth, slushy consistency. If you need a bit more ice to reach that delightful texture, don’t hesitate! Pour this mixture into a cup that has a pour lip and set it aside in the freezer to firm up.
Lime Margarita Layer
Next up is the lime margarita layer! Make sure you use a clean blender for this part. Pour the Rancho La Gloria Margarita Wine Cocktail into the blender along with another cup of ice. Blend until it achieves that deliciously slushy consistency. Again, feel free to toss in more ice to get it just right. When you’re done, pour this lime layer into a cup with a pour lip and set it aside, too.
Layering the Margarita
It’s time to layer everything together. Retrieve the Blue Curacao layer from the freezer. Grab a large wine cup or margarita glass, and start with the blue layer. Carefully pour it into the glass until it fills about ¼ of the way. For a nice, smooth pour, use a gentle rocking motion. Next, slowly add the lime margarita layer on top, filling it another ¼ of the glass while keeping that rocking pour technique. Repeat this process until your glass is beautifully full. For a finishing touch, feel free to garnish with a lime wedge or add a sugar rim if that strikes your fancy.
Serving Suggestions
Present your Frostbite Margarita in elegant glasses. You can jazz them up further with fun garnishes like mint leaves or colorful straws. To truly enhance the flavor, serve this cocktail alongside light appetizers such as guacamole, chips, or shrimp tacos. These snacks will elevate your whole experience and create the perfect pairing for your drink.
Tips for Success
- To get the best texture and flavor, make sure your ingredients are chilled.
- Always use fresh lime juice for a brighter, more vibrant taste.
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness by changing the amount of agave; taste as you go!
- Additionally, experiment with the ice quantity to find your ideal slushy texture.
Variations
Excited to experiment? You can switch out Blue Curacao for a different flavored liqueur. For a fruity twist, try raspberry or peach! If you’re feeling adventurous, add fresh fruit purees into the layers, like mango or strawberry, for even more flavor depth. Each variation leads to a new and unique Frostbite Margarita experience.
FAQs
What glass should I use for a Frostbite Margarita?
A large wine glass or margarita glass works well, helping to showcase those beautiful layers.
Can I make this drink in advance?
You can prepare each individual layer ahead of time, but it’s best to assemble the drink just before serving to keep that slushy texture.
What can I use instead of Rancho La Gloria Margarita Wine Cocktail?
Feel free to substitute it with any ready-to-drink margarita mix, or you can create your own blend with tequila and lime juice.

Absolutely! You can easily create a non-alcoholic version by using limeade mixed with lemon-lime soda and a Blue Curacao substitute syrup to replicate that fun color and flavor.
