Instructions

Prepare your cocktail glasses by running a lime wedge along the rim of a tall glass, and then dip it into the margarita salt and set aside.
For the blue layer, to your blender, add 1 ounce of tequila, 1 ounce of lime juice, ½ ounce of agave nectar, 1 ½ ounces of blue curacao liqueur, and 1 ½ cups of ice cubes. Blend until smooth.
Divide evenly between the 3 tall glasses.
For the white layer, rinse your blender well and add 1 ounce of triple sec, 1 ounce of tequila, 1 ounce of lime juice, 1 ½ ounces of cream of coconut, and 1 ½ cups ice. Blend until smooth.
Gently spoon the white margarita mixture on top of the blue mixture in the glass.
For the red layer, rinse your blender and add 1 ounce of triple sec, 1 ounce of tequila, ½ ounce of lime juice, ½ ounce agave, and 1 ½ cups frozen strawberries. Blend until smooth.
Gently spoon the red margarita mixture over top of the white layer. Garnish each drink with fresh lime, and enjoy!

Notes

Be careful when adding the layered colors to the glass, you want there to be a separation so you can easily see each layer.
Must be served immediately.
Add coarse sugar or pop rocks to the rim instead of margarita salt.
Tons of options for making this a mocktail.
