Coconut Blueberry Margarita

The Coconut Blueberry Margarita is a refreshing fusion of tropical comfort and fruity zest. Smooth tequila and bright orange liqueur lay the foundation, while creamy coconut milk adds a velvety texture that softens the citrus edge. Muddled blueberries lend a burst of natural sweetness and color, balanced by a splash of fresh lime juice and a hint of agave syrup for just the right touch of sweetness.

A salted rim enhances the contrast of flavors, and the drink is topped with a lime wheel and fresh blueberries for a vibrant finish. It’s a beautiful, flavorful choice for warm-weather sipping or festive occasions.

Tasting Notes

The Coconut Blueberry Margarita is a lush, tropical twist on the classic margarita with a creamy texture and berry-rich flavor. Fresh blueberries bring natural sweetness and a deep hue, while coconut milk softens the edges with silky richness. Tequila and orange liqueur form the spirited base, balanced by fresh lime juice and a hint of agave syrup. A salted rim and fresh garnishes elevate the experience, offering a vibrant blend of tart, sweet, and smooth in every sip.

Equipment and Glassware

You’ll need a shaker for mixing, a muddler to break down the blueberries, and a jigger for measuring. A fine mesh strainer helps achieve a smooth pour. Serve in a rocks glass to showcase the colorful drink and garnish. A small plate will help prep the salted rim.
