Notes

Ingredient Notes:
Blueberries: Fresh blueberries give the best flavor and color to the simple syrup, but frozen can be used in a pinch.
Tequila: I like a blanco tequila for this cocktail but use your favorite. Just make sure it's 100% agave whatever brand you decide to use.
Lime Juice: Fresh lime juice is the only way to go when are you using it for cocktails.
Grand Marnier is my orange liqueur of choice for this margarita, but feel free to use Cointreau or Triple Sec in its place.
 

Expert Tips

✘ Make the blueberry simple syrup ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator until ready to use.
✘ Use good tequila. When an ingredient list is so short, the high quality ingredients make a big difference.
✘ Love a little heat in your cocktails? Muddle a jalapeno slice in the bottom of the cocktail shaker with the lime juice before adding the blueberry simple syrup and liquors. The spicy-sweet combo tastes amazing!
