Notes

Variations and substitutions for this black magic margarita

Not a fan of Passion Fruit Liquer? Opt instead for Raspberry, cherry, or lemon liqueurs. Other options are sour apple schnapps or blue curacao. You can also omit the liquer completely for a classic margarita recipe.

If you don't have Cointreau available, you can use Triple Sec or orange liquer.

If you're not a fan of simple syrup, opt for Agave nectar instead.

Don't have any fresh limes handy? You can use for bottled lime juice, sour mix, or lemon juice.

Don't have black salt available for your glass rim? Opt instead for black sugar sprinkles.

Don't want to use activated charcoal? You can opt instead for black gel food coloring.

Activated Charcoal

Activated charcoal reduces absorption of drugs and other chemicals in the stomach and intestines. Taking activated charcoal along with medications taken by mouth can decrease how much medicine the body absorbs. This can decrease the effects of your medication. For more information, read here.
