Consider a classic margarita as a blank canvas for other flavors. Lots of fruits, from strawberries to mangoes, can be blended into a frozen margarita, but don’t limit yourself! When it’s time to think outside the margarita recipe<\/a> box, go blue. This blueberry margarita is the next best use for frozen blueberries since your favorite breakfast smoothie.<\/p>\n This recipe calls for frozen blueberries, and you don’t need ice at all, which can water down your cocktail. The result is a smooth, icy frozen margarita full of natural fruit flavor. A touch of mint is just the thing to take this blueberry margarita over the top.<\/p>\n A blender is your friend when it comes to making frozen margaritas<\/a>. It purees smoothly and evenly combines all the ingredients. Of course, if you don’t have a blender, you can always make a blueberry margarita on the rocks. We’ll tell you how to make both.<\/p>\n Moisten the rim of your cocktail glass with the lime wedge, making contact all the way around the top of the glass. If desired, sprinkle sugar on a small plate. Hold the glass upside down, and dip the rim in the sugar, gently rotating it to make contact around the entire glass rim. Set the lime wedge aside for a garnish.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> For more sweetness in each sip, run the lime around the outside of the glass’s lip, as well, and then roll the rim at a 45-degree angle in the sugar. Salt can be used instead with either technique. Gently tap the glass when you’re done to dislodge any excess sugar or salt.<\/p>\n In a blender, combine the tequila, Triple Sec, lime juice, blueberries and mint. Puree until smooth. Pour the margarita into the prepared glass. Garnish with the lime wedge and, if desired, fresh blueberries and additional mint sprigs. Serve immediately.<\/p>\n You can make frozen blueberry margaritas ahead of time and store them in the freezer, which is great if you’re making a big batch for a party. The alcohol keeps the margarita from firming up too much, but you’ll still want to pop it back into the blender before serving. Make sure to use the mix withing a week to ensure it has good flavor.<\/p>\n You can make a blueberry margarita on the rocks with fresh blueberries. Add the fresh fruit to a cocktail shaker, and muddle until it’s well smashed. Add the other ingredients and some ice, and shake well until everything is nice and cold. Strain the drink into a prepared glass. Top with ice if desired, plus a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. If you only have frozen blueberries, thaw and muddle those instead.<\/p>\n Blending any beverage, whether a margarita or a smoothie, pulls in air, creating bubbles and foam. Blender speed and time can affect how many air pockets develop. To limit foaminess, use a high-powered machine that can fully puree the frozen blueberries at a low speed in just a few seconds. You may see even smoother results if you puree the blueberries before adding the other ingredients and then blend just enough to combine them. If a thin top layer of foam forms when you pour the margarita into a glass, break it down by stirring gently with a spoon.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our blueberry margarita
