How to Make the Best Blueberry Margarita

This blueberry margarita is the perfect summer refresher that transforms a classic cocktail into something fresh, fruity, and utterly delightful. The muddled blueberries provide both beautiful color and natural sweetness, while the tequila and orange liqueur create that perfect margarita balance of spirit and citrus. It’s a drink that feels fancy enough for entertaining but comes together in just minutes.

Why You’ll Love This Blueberry Margarita

This recipe is all about bringing fresh, seasonal flavors to a beloved classic. The beauty of using fresh blueberries is that they contribute not just flavor, but also a gorgeous color that makes for an Instagram-worthy cocktail. When you muddle the berries with simple syrup, you’re releasing all their juice and essence, creating a naturally sweet and fruity base that pairs beautifully with tequila.

Tips for the Best Results

The key to a perfect blueberry margarita is using quality ingredients and fresh blueberries when possible. Reposado tequila offers a smoother, more complex flavor than silver tequila, and freshly squeezed lime juice makes all the difference in the final taste. If you’re making this for a party, you can easily batch it up in advance—just multiply the ingredients and mix everything except the ice in a large pitcher. When you’re ready to serve, simply pour into ice-filled glasses and garnish as desired.

Instructions
