What Type of Tequila Should You Use For Margaritas?
You don’t have to break the super expensive tequila for this drink because the blueberry flavor really comes through. But I’m not saying that you shouldn’t use great tequila either, my wife always says that the best margaritas are made with Patrón…expensive, but the best!
We love making twists on classic drink recipes like this Blueberry Margarita recipe. It’s alywas fun for parties, or just making a batch at home for a happy hour.
Do You Need Limes To Make A Margarita?
I had to make adjustments. What else could I use to make a margarita drink besides limes? Blueberries were my answer. I’m not saying that blueberries are cheap, but they’re never cheap unless it’s the middle of the summer and you catch them on sale.
I wanted to make this margarita to feel like a splurge. Not like you were getting ripped off paying $10.00 for a bag of limes. This Blueberry Margarita is easy to make and totally worth the 5 bucks for the blueberries.
Hopefully I’ve given you enough ideas to have some good drinks this weekend. If not, there’s always bourbon!
We hope you try this fun margarita recipe, and try different berries to make different versions, too!
