How to Make a Blueberry Margarita
Step #1: Optionally, use lime slices to wet the rim of your glass and dip the glass into a bowl with a shallow amount of sugar to rim the glass with sugar. Another month, another margarita recipe! You might be asking, if this is a blueberry margarita, why is it pink? I am with you! I wish blueberries were truly blue when you squeeze all the delicious flavoring out of them. Truly, they’re more of a pinky/purple color. Also, for this recipe, I chose to muddle the blueberries versus blending them (because who has that kind of time when the patio is calling!) but you can blend or purée the blueberries to get more of that richer purple color in your drink. I have definitely seen blueberry margaritas that are a sapphire blue, which clearly have food coloring in them; but personally, I am not a fan because I think food coloring isn’t necessary here. Step #2: In a cocktail shaker, add in your blueberries. Using a muddler, muddle the blueberries until you have freshly squeezed blueberry juice. Step #3: Next, add your ice, tequila, Grand Marnier, simple syrup, and lime juice into the cocktail shaker that has your muddled blueberries. Step #4: Cover and shake your cocktail shaker. Enjoy Responsibly. This post and recipe are intended for those of legal drinking age. Freezing the cocktail is possible; pour it into an airtight container, leaving some space for expansion, and freeze for up to a month. Thaw in the refrigerator when ready to serve.
