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!
