Ingredients
- 1 oz Irish Whiskey - such as Jameson

- 1 oz Orange Juice
- 1 drop Natural Green Food Coloring
- 1 oz Blue Curaçao

- ½ oz Simple Syrup - or agave nectar
- 2 oz Honeycrisp Apple Juice - I use unfiltered Honeycrisp Apple Juice or Simply Apple Juice
- 1 to 2 oz Sparkling Water - such as Lime La Croix for topping off
Instructions
- Start by dipping your glasses in a mixture of green sanding sugar and coarse sea salt. Rub the rim of the margarita glasses with a lime wedge and dip in the sea salt mixture. Set aside.
- In a cocktail shaker, splash in an ounce of Irish whiskey and also an ounce of your favorite good quality silver tequila.
- Next, splash in an ounce of orange juice and an ounce of blue curaçao plus a drop of green food coloring.
- Lastly, we’ll go ahead and splash in some freshly squeezed lime juice, a dash of simple syrup, and the Honeycrisp apple juice.
- Fill your cocktail shaker about halfway with fresh ice cubes and put on the lid. Shake vigorously until the tequila, whiskey, liqueurs, lime juice, simple syrup, and apple juice are fully chilled and combined.
- Pour the entire mixture into your salty rimmed margarita glass. Top off with sparkling water. Finish by garnishing with fresh lime wheels and festive green paper straws.
