Ingredients
Scale
Liquors
- 5 oz Silver Tequila
- 2 oz Blueberry Schnapps
- 2 oz Island Punch Pucker
- 2 oz Triple Sec
Fresh Ingredients and Others
- 4 oz lime juice
- 1/4 cup frozen blueberries
- 1 cup ice
- Salt (for the glass rim)
- Lime slices (for serving and glass rim)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a food blender, add the silver tequila, frozen blueberries, blueberry schnapps, triple sec, Island Punch Pucker, lime juice, and ice. This mixture forms the base of your frozen margarita.
- Blend Smoothly: Blend the ingredients on high until the mixture is smooth and slushy, ensuring the frozen blueberries and ice are fully pureed into the drink.
- Prepare Glass Rim: Rub a lime slice around the rim of the glasses to moisten them, which will help the salt stick.
- Salt the Glass Rim: Dip the lime-moistened rims of the glasses into salt, coating them evenly. Set the glasses aside carefully.
- Pour the Margarita: Pour the blended blueberry margarita mixture into the prepared glasses, filling them just right without disturbing the salted rim.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish each glass with a lime slice on the rim or in the drink for a fresh finishing touch and serve immediately while cold and refreshing.
Notes
- Use good quality silver tequila for the best flavor.
- Adjust the amount of lime juice to balance the tartness to your taste.
- Frozen blueberries give the margarita a nice chill and vibrant color; fresh blueberries can be used but won’t chill the drink as much.
- For a sweeter version, add a small amount of simple syrup or agave nectar.
- Ensure the glass rims are well moistened before dipping in salt for a proper coating.
- This recipe makes two servings, perfect for sharing.
