How to Prepare this Great Blueberry Tequila Cocktail
To ensure you’re ready to make this delicious cocktail in time for those hot summer days, it’s best to prepare the margarita mix ahead of time and store it until you’re ready to serve.
Combine the blueberries and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the berries soften, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Strain out the blueberries using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
Combine 1 cup tequila, blueberries, agave nectar and lime juice and the triple sec in a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Shake vigorously for about 20 seconds, until chilled through. Pour all the ingredientes into glasses filled with ice cubes, then top off with soda water or club soda—whatever you prefer! Add a few berries on top of each drink as garnish, along with lime slices if desired. Enjoy!
Tips to Make This Añejo Margarita Recipe
If you’re looking for the perfect drink to kick off summer, look no further than this blueberry margarita recipe.
The sweet and sour elements of the drink are balanced out by the tartness of the blueberries and lime juice, making it a delicious treat to share with friends or make for yourself as you soak up some rays.
Here are some tips from our experts:
- Use the right tequila. You can’t make a margarita with just any old tequila. The best tequilas for making margaritas are blanco (unaged) or reposado (rested). If you’re going to splurge, go for an extra-añejo (aged in oak barrels).
- Use fresh lime juice—not bottled lime juice—for your margaritas. It’s worth it!
- Buy blueberries that look plump and juicy, not shriveled and dry; they should be fresh looking and firm, not soft or squishy. Always wash berries before using them, even if they say “prewashed” on the package!
- Make sure your ice is crushed into small pieces so that it melts quickly in your drink without diluting it too much; this will help keep your drink from becoming watery as soon as you add the fruit and other ingredients to it!
