How do you make blueberry margaritas?
You’ll need some basic bartending tools such as a muddler, cocktail shaker, and jigger.
We picked local blueberries earlier this year so I used what I had frozen but fresh will work just as well. When I add a triple sec to a cocktail, I try to use a non-alcoholic one.
Why? Because triple sec is really only a flavor, orange. I don’t need more alcohol in my drink when I just want the flavor. Fresh orange juice makes the drink more acidic and I wouldn’t recommend it.
