Ingredients
For the Blueberry Simple Syrup
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup blueberries fresh
For the Margarita
- 2 ounces blanco or “silver” tequila
- 1½ ounces lime juice freshly squeezed
- 1½ ounces orange liqueur
- 2 ounces blueberry simple syrup prepared
Instructions
Make the Blueberry Simple Syrup
- Add the water, granulated sugar, and blueberries to a small saucepan set over medium heat. Bring the syrup to a boil and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved and the blueberries have burst. Mash the berries a bit, to release more of their flavor and color.
- Remove syrup from the heat and pour it through a fine mesh sieve to remove large chunks of blueberries. Press on the solids with a wooden spoon to get all the juices out.
- Allow syrup to cool completely and then transfer it to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 7 days.
