Blueberry Margaritas

 

Love making pretty drinks Alcoholic or not and this is probably one of my favorite!

So refreshing!!

The prettiest Margarita!!

FOR THE BLUEBERRY SYRUP:

• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup water

FOR  COCKTAIL:

• 2 oz silver tequila
• 0.5 oz orange liqueur
• 1.5 oz blueberry syrup
• 1 oz fresh lime juice
• Salt and lime slices/wedges, for rimming the glasses
• Fresh blueberries, for garnish (optional)

FOR THE BLUEBERRY SYRUP:

1. Combine the berries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan and set over medium heat.
2. Bring to a simmer and cook, mashing the berries gently with the back of a spoon, for about 10 minutes.
3. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
4. Once cool, pass the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the solids; discard the solids. This is an optional step – see note below.
5. The syrup can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to one week.

FOR COCKTAIL:

1. To a shaker filled with ice, add the tequila, orange liqueur, syrup, and lime juice. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds to combine and thoroughly chill the ingredients.
2. Rub a lime wedge around the rims of the serving glass and then place the rim in a shallow dish or plate of salt. 
3. Fill the glass with ice and then strain the margarita into the glass. Garnish with a lime wedge/slice and more blueberries. Serve immediately.
