Mixologist's Notes:
Blending Tea + Color + Mood

“When you're thinking of refreshing drinks, the first thing that comes to mind is sitting on a beach, having a margarita. I think this blue Organic Peppermint cocktail is the perfect drink to revive you on hot summer days.”

— Kevin Spicknell, Outlets Manager at Omni King Edward Hotel

Peppermint Margarita

“The flavor of Organic Peppermint was our starting point. We mixed in some premium Patrón Tequila, along with lime juice and simple syrup. Then Blue Curaçao, as well as Hpnotiq to soak the blueberries, to achieve the blue hue.”

- Kevin Spicknell
