Ingredients that you’ll need to make a License to Chill
You’ll need Tequila. For an all-around good Tequila, you can try Patron, El Padrino or for a reasonably priced Tequila I use Sauza Silver. Next the Blue Curacao, lime juice, sweet & sour mix and agave.
Bar Tools that you’ll need to make a License to Chill cocktail
Martini or cocktail, I find that a good shake makes all the difference in the world. I have at least a dozen shakers but this one from OXO is by far my favorite. It doesn’t leak, and the cap is a measuring cup that will measure from 1/2 ounce to 1.5 ounces. And it is dishwasher safe! You can’t go wrong with OXO.
And don’t forget the glasses. This drink is meant to be enjoyed outside in the beautiful summer weather. You don’t want to take glass on the boat or by the pool so these 20 ounce acrylic glasses (shown above) are perfect for any outdoor occasion. Keep in mind that you can put a ‘double’, 2 portions of the Mango Margarita in the 20-ounce glass. If you are looking for a single serving, the 15 ounce acrylic glasses (shown below) are a better choice. Remember, add lots of ice!
License to Chill Cocktail Directions
Fill the shaker half full of ice. Add the Tequila, Blue Curacao, lime juice, sweet & sour mix and agave to a shaker. Shake gently then pour your drink into a glass filled with ice. Garnish with a piece of orange. It’s amazing!
