You may hear this Blue Margarita called a Moonlight Margarita or an Electric Margarita, but they are all essentially the same. The defining ingredient is the blue curacao, which replaced the triple sec of the original Margarita and keeps that same orange flavor but changes the cocktail's color to a beautiful, deep blue. So you get the same great taste in disguise.
