Blueberry Margarita
This Blueberry Margarita is made with ripe blueberries, lime juice, orange liqueur, and tequila for a fruity New England take on the classic cocktail!
A Juicy Summer Margarita
Blueberries are a summer staple here in Maine and with everything going on I think summer should start a little early with this delicious Blueberry Margarita!
One of my favorite things about summer is the fresh berries; nothing quite comes close to the juiciness of a plump wild blackberry or the perfect balance of tart and sweet in a Maine Blueberry.
Whether fresh from the field after a day of raking, baked into muffins, or blended into a cocktail, the fresh blueberry flavor tends to shine!

- Fresh Blueberries
- Lime Juice

How To Make A Blueberry Margarita
- Blend the blueberries until smooth. Then strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve.
- Combine the blueberry juice, lime juice, tequila, orange liqueur, and simple syrup together in a cocktail shaker. Shake and then set it aside.
- Run a lime wedge along the rim of the glasses and then dip them in salt or sugar.
- Add ice to the glasses and then pour the margarita mixture in. Garnish with a lime wedge and enjoy.
Make A Frozen Margarita!
Add all of the ingredients (except the salt/sugar) to a blender and pulse until a slush forms – add more ice if needed! Rim your glass with salt or sugar, pour the margarita into the pitcher, and enjoy!
Feel free to separately blend and strain the blueberries if you don’t want the skins. Or use my Blueberry Cocktail Syrup to make this recipe instead of fresh blueberries.
