A quick and easy frozen blueberry margarita that balances sweet and tangy flavors with a zesty lime rim, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ounces (60 ml) Tequila Blanco
  • 1 cup (150 g) Fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 ounce (30 ml) Fresh lime juice
  • 1 ounce (30 ml) Triple sec or Cointreau
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) Simple syrup
  • 1 to 1.5 cups (240360 ml) Ice cubes or crushed ice
  • Coarse sea salt or sugar for rim
  • Fresh lime wedges for rim

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glass rims by pouring coarse sea salt or sugar onto a small plate. Rub a fresh lime wedge around the rim of each serving glass to moisten it. Dip the rims gently into the salt or sugar, twisting slightly to coat evenly. Set glasses aside to dry a bit.
  2. Squeeze fresh lime juice using a citrus juicer until you have about 1 ounce (30 ml). Strain to remove seeds if needed.
  3. In a high-speed blender, combine 2 ounces (60 ml) tequila blanco, 1 cup (150 g) fresh or frozen blueberries, 1 ounce (30 ml) fresh lime juice, 1 ounce (30 ml) triple sec, and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) simple syrup. Add 1 to 1.5 cups (240-360 ml) ice cubes or crushed ice.
  4. Start blending on low speed to break up the ice, then ramp up to high. Blend until smooth but still slushy—about 30 to 45 seconds. If too thick, add a splash of water or more lime juice; if too thin, add more ice.
  5. Taste the margarita mixture and adjust sweetness or tartness as needed. Add a bit more simple syrup if too tart, or extra lime juice if you want more zing.
  6. Carefully pour the frozen blueberry margarita into the prepared glasses. Garnish with a few fresh blueberries or a lime wheel on the rim if desired.

Notes

Use crushed ice for best frozen texture. Freeze blueberries ahead of time if fresh. Adjust simple syrup to taste to balance sweetness and tartness. Prepare rims while blending to save time. For a spicy twist, add jalapeño or cayenne. For a mocktail, replace tequila and triple sec with sparkling water and orange juice.
