With Halloween just around the corner, it’s time to prepare drinks menus for any parties you have coming up — and here’s one for the margarita lovers. The tequila brand Casa Del Sol from actress Eva Longoria has two recipes for margaritas in seasonal colors of black or bright red, giving a spooky vibe but still being great flavors.
The black version uses activated charcoal to give it its ink blank appearance, which is visually striking but easy to mix for a seasonal sip. There’s also black salt for a fancy-looking rim if you can get your hands on it. And the red version incorporates pomegranate juice to give it a bloody hue and to add a sharp and fruity flavor to the combination of tequila and triple sec, with the more traditional regular salt rim plus a handful of pomegranate seeds for an attractive and on theme garnish.
