Ingredients

For the Margaritas

  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen and defrosted blueberries
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice 1-2 limes

Instructions

  • Make the ginger syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the fresh ginger, agave, and water. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook for 35 minutes. Careful not to cook at too high of a temperature or the ginger will burn. Set aside to cool.
  • Make the margaritas: In a cocktail shaker (or a large jar) muddle the blueberries and lime juice until the blueberries are pulverized. Add the tequila, ginger syrup, orange liqueur and a handful of ice. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds. Add ice to two glasses then (using the cocktail shaker or a fine mesh sieve) strain the liquid into the glass. Garnish with lime and blueberries, serve and enjoy!

To make this non-alcoholic, omit the liquor and substitute soda water.
