Add Patron Tequila and Blue Curaçao: Pour in the Patron tequila and blue curaçao into the blender with the strawberry mixture. Blend again until everything is well combined and you have that stunning blue hue.
Mix in Sparkling Water: To add some fizz, gently fold in sparkling water into the mixture using a spatula. This will keep your cocktail light and bubbly—a must-have for summer sipping!
Serve Over Ice: Fill tall glasses with ice cubes, then pour your vibrant Patron Strawberry Blue Hawaiian over them. Garnish with fresh strawberries or lemon slices if you’re feeling fancy!
