Tasting Notes

The Blueberry Thyme Margarita is a refreshing, herbaceous, and slightly fruity twist on the classic margarita. The muddled blueberries add a natural sweetness and deep berry flavor, while thyme provides an aromatic earthiness. Tequila and orange liqueur bring a smooth, citrusy kick, while lime juice and agave syrup balance the tart and sweet elements.

Equipment and Glassware

You’ll need a cocktail shaker for mixing, a muddler to release the flavors of the blueberries and thyme, a strainer for a smooth pour, and a rocks glass for serving. A jigger ensures accurate measurements.

Ingredients

• 2 oz tequila
• 1 oz orange liqueur
• 1 oz lime juice
• 1/2 oz agave syrup

Instructions

Pro Tips

• Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor, but frozen can work if thawed slightly.
• For an extra layer of flavor, rim the glass with thyme-infused salt or sugar.
• Try grilling the thyme for a smoky herbal touch.
• For a frozen version, blend all ingredients with ice instead of shaking.
