Blueberry Margarita
This delicious drink gets its pretty color from a homemade blueberry syrup. When combined with tequila and lime juice, you get the most amazing sweet and sour margarita!
Ingredients
Blueberry Syrup (Yields about 200 milliliters or 6.5- 7 ounces of syrup)
- 225 grams (8 ounces) fresh or frozen blueberries
- 120 milliliters (1/2 cup) water
- 100 grams (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
Margarita
- 1 ounce blueberry syrup (we include instructions to make your own syrup in this recipe, but if you can find storebought, you can use it instead!)
- 1.5 ounces tequila
- 3/4 ounces lime juice
- Ice cubes
Instructions
Blueberry Syrup
- For the blueberry syrup: add blueberries, water, and sugar to a small pot. You can adjust the amounts accordingly for however many drinks you will be making! Place over medium-low heat on the stove.
- Cook for around 10 minutes, stirring occasionally - the sugar should dissolve and the blueberries should be starting to burst, and the liquid should be a nice purple color. You can mash the blueberries if you want to get a little more flavor out of them!
- Turn off the heat and let the syrup cool.
- Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a small bottle or container that you can keep in the fridge. Use the syrup within a week!
Margarita
- Add ice to your shaker.
- Add in blueberry syrup, tequila, and fresh squeezed lime juice.
- Shake well, until the outside of the shaker feels very cold!
- If you would like salt on the rim of your glass, rub a lime wedge around the edge of the glass and dip in salt!
- Add ice cubes to your glass. We use a lowball/rocks glass for this, and it fits one serving perfectly!
- Pour the shaken cocktail into the glass.
- Garnish with a lime slice or lime wedge, and fresh blueberries. We put our blueberries on a martini skewer! Enjoy!
