Blueberry margarita made with roasted berries and fresh lime
Ingredients
- 1 dry pint of Superfresh blueberries
- ¼ cup sugar + more for rimming glasses
- ½ cup lime juice
- 6 ounces of tequila
- Lime zest
- Honey or agave syrup (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Begin by washing blueberries. Without completely drying, place blueberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle them with sugar and toss to coat.
- Roast for 15 minutes until blueberries start to burst.
- Place the roasted blueberries in a blender and puree. Chill completely. If you don’t want blueberry chunks in your drink, strain.
- Add lime juice, ¾ cup blueberry puree, and tequila to a cocktail shaker or pitcher, and then stir or shake to combine. Add honey or agave if you prefer a sweeter taste.
- Add sugar and lime zest to a small plate and toss to combine. Take a lime wedge and go around each glass, and then dip it into the sugar mixture to rim 3 glasses.
- Fill glasses with ice and then pour the blueberry margarita over the top. Garnish with a lime wedge and extra blueberries, and serve immediately.
