Over Fresh Ice - Strain the drink into your glass over fresh ice so the ice will not melt as fast. As an "Up" Drink - Forget the ice and strain the drink directly into a cocktail or margarita glass. Blend It Up - Toss all of the ingredients into a blender with about 1 cup of ice and blend until smooth.How Strong is the Blue Margarita?This Blue Margarita is made primarily of alcohol, so it is not what we would consider a light drink. When made with an 80-proof tequila and 60-proof curacao, it has an estimated alcohol content of 23% ABV (46 proof).
