Ingredients

For The Rim

  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • Zest of one lime

For The Blueberry Puree *

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries rinsed and picked over
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon agave nectar

For The Margarita

  • 2 oz tequila Blanco (silver tequila)
  • 1 oz orange liqueur Cointreau or Triple Sec
  • 1 oz lime juice freshly squeezed
  • ½ oz agave nectar optional
  • ¾ cup ice + more for serving

Garnish (Optional)

  • Lime slices
  • A handful of blueberries

Instructions

  • Place kosher salt and lime zest in a shallow plate. Run the lime wedge along the rim of the margarita glass and dip it into the salt, making sure the salt sticks to both the inside and outside of the rim. Place it in the freezer while you are preparing the rest of the drink.
  • To make the blueberry puree, place blueberries, lime juice, and agave nectar in a blender. Blend until super smooth, about 1 minute. Reserve 2 oz and store the rest in the fridge to make more blueberry margaritas later.
  • To make the margarita, in a cocktail shaker, place the reserved blueberry puree, tequila Blanco, orange liqueur, lime juice, agave nectar (if using), and ¾ cup ice. Cover it tightly and shake for 15 seconds until it is fully mixed.
  • Remove the salt-rimmed glass from the freezer. Fill it with fresh ice and pour the drink over it.
  • Garnish with a lime wedge and a few blueberries. Serve right away.

Notes

  • Yields: This recipe makes 1 blueberry margarita on the rocks and the nutritional values below are for 1 drink.
  • No time for making blueberry puree? You can muddle 2 cups of fresh blueberries in a large glass and strain them through a fine mesh strainer, or use 2 oz. blueberry juice instead. You can use frozen blueberries as well but make sure to thaw them first.
  • A note on using agave nectar/simple syrup: I listed this ingredient as optional, as not all blueberries are created equal. Give it a taste before adding any extra sugar.
  • To make it in a pitcher (for 8 Servings): Mix together the ingredients below and store it in the fridge. When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice and pour the liquid over.
    • 2 cups Tequila Blanco
    • 2 cups Blueberry Puree
    • 1 cup fresh lime juice
    • 1 cup orange liqueur or triple sec
    • 1/2 cup agave nectar or simple syrup, plus more to taste
