Description
This creamy, fruity cocktail combines homemade blueberry syrup with smooth coconut milk and quality tequila for a flavor explosion that transports you straight to the beach. T
Ingredients
For the Blueberry Simple Syrup:
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
For Each Margarita:
2 oz tequila (silver or reposado)
2 oz coconut milk, well shaken
2 oz blueberry simple syrup
Ice for shaking and serving
Sea salt or coarse sugar for rimming (optional)
Fresh blueberries for garnish
Instructions
1. Combine blueberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 10-15 minutes until berries burst and the mixture thickens.
2. Strain out the berry solids through a fine mesh strainer. Let cool completely before using. This makes enough syrup for about 6 margaritas.
3. Pour a little simple syrup on a small plate. Run the rim of your glass through the syrup.
4. Dip the moistened rim into sea salt or coarse sugar on another plate. Set aside while you mix the drink.
5. Fill your cocktail shaker with ice. Add tequila, coconut milk, and blueberry syrup.
6. Shake vigorously for 20-30 seconds until really well mixed.
7. Fill your prepared glass with fresh ice. Strain the margarita over the ice.
8. Drop a few fresh blueberries on top for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
Store blueberry syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Shake that coconut milk can really well before opening to avoid lumps.
For creamier texture, use coconut cream (about 1.5 oz instead of 2 oz).
Use quality tequila for best results. You’ll taste the difference.
Mixed margaritas don’t store well. Always mix fresh for best results.
