Ingredients

  

• Ingredients
• For the cocktail:
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
• 2 oz tequila silver or reposado
• 1 oz fresh lime juice about 1 lime
• 1 oz orange liqueur like Cointreau or Triple Sec

• Muddle the Blueberries:
• In a cocktail shaker, add the blueberries and muddle gently with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release their juices. This will enhance the flavor of your cocktail.

• Shake It Up:
• Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled. You want to mix the flavors thoroughly while also chilling the drink.
• Strain and Serve:
• Using a strainer, pour the mixture into the prepared glasses filled with fresh ice. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can strain the drink to remove any pulp or blueberry skins.
• Garnish:
• Top each margarita with a few fresh blueberries and a lime slice for a pop of color and extra flavor.
