Ingredients
  

For The Rim
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1 lime zest
  • 1 wedge lime for rimming glass
Blueberry Puree
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
On The Rocks
  • 1 cup Ice
  • 2 ounces blueberry puree recipe above
  • 2 ounces tequila blanco
  • 1 oz triple sec or orange liquor
  • 4 ounces Powell & Mahoney Classic Margarita Mix
  • 1 squeeze lime juice
  • 1 handful fresh blueberries for garnish
Frozen
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries no need to thaw
  • 2 ounces tequila blanco
  • 1 oz triple sec or orange liquor
  • 4 ounces Powell & Mahoney Classic Margarita Mix
  • 1 squeeze lime juice
  • 1/2 cup ice
  • 1 squeeze lime juice
  • 1 handful fresh blueberries for garnish

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Margarita glass
  • Cocktail shaker
  • Small flat plate
  • Jar

Method
 

  1. Mix salt and lime zest on a small flat plate. Wet the sides of a margarita glass with a lime wedge. Rim the glass in the salt mixture. Set aside.
  2. Place blueberries and lime juice in a blender and blend until smooth. Place in a jar and set aside.
  3. Fill a jar or cocktail shaker with 4-5 ice cubes. Add blueberry puree, tequila, triple sec, and margarita mix. Secure the lid and shake for 15 seconds. Fill the reserved margarita glass with ice and pour the mixture over. Squeeze a small lime wedge, garnish with blueberries, and serve.
  4. Place frozen blueberries, tequila, triple sec, lime juice, margarita mix, and ice in a blender. Blend on medium speed until smooth, 45-50 seconds. Pour into a salt-rimmed margarita glass and garnish with fresh blueberries before serving.

Notes

If you don't have margarita mix, use this formula for one serving: 2 parts tequila Blanco, 1 part triple sec or orange liquor, 1 part honey simple syrup (or regular simple syrup), ½ part fresh lime juice, 2 parts blueberry puree. This recipe makes extra blueberry puree that you can use for more margaritas or other recipes. If you don't have frozen blueberries, you can blend fresh blueberries with ice; you may need to blend longer. Keep margarita glasses in the freezer until ready to serve for a colder drink. To make a non-alcoholic beverage, omit the tequila and triple sec and add more blueberry juice or puree.
