There are so many fruity ways to make a margarita! Here are some of our top margarita recipes: What we love about this recipe: This blueberry margarita has a beautifully sweet tart flavor and a fluorescent pink-purple hue. It’s great for impressing friends for a summer party or barbecue, or for mixing up a single drink to sip on the patio. Alex and I make a lot of margaritas, and outside of the classic margarita recipe this is one of our favorite fruity spins!
Tequila Cointreau or Triple Sec Lime juice Fresh blueberries Simple syrup
Top choice: Cointreau. Cointreau is a premium orange liqueur with a developed-orange perfume flavor. It has notes of oak and vanilla, which make it taste more sophisticated than Triple Sec. Next choice: Triple Sec. Triple Sec is slightly less refined in flavor than Cointreau: it has a very straightforward orange essence (almost like orange vodka). But either work in a blueberry margarita.
Step 1: Cut a notch in a lime wedge, then run the lime around the rim of a glass. Dip the edge of the rim into a plate of salt (or for a festive look, use Margarita Salt). Step 2: Place ¼ cup blueberries in the bottom of a cocktail shaker, and muddle them until fully mashed. Add the 1 ½ oz tequila, 1 oz Cointreau, ½ oz lime juice, and ½ oz simple syrup to a cocktail shaker and fill it with ice. Shake until cold. Step 3: Strain the margarita into the glass with the salted rim. Fill the glass with ice and garnish with a lime wedge and extra blueberries.
Mash 2 cups blueberries and strain them into a pitcher. Add 1 ½ cups tequila, 1 cup Triple Sec, ½ cup lime juice. and ½ ounce simple syrup. Add 3 handfuls of ice and stir until cold. Pour into glasses and serve!
