Blueberry Margaritas

This simple recipe only needs four ingredients for a festive and fruity margarita perfect for celebrating Mardi Gras, Margarita Day, or any day

Let's celebrate Margarita Day again this year. (I celebrated it a few years ago with some tasty Grapefruit Margaritas)

And I took it a step further by making these festive Mardi Gras margaritas. Now, obviously, you can leave out the green and gold sugar and you've still got a tasty margarita.

This recipe couldn't be much easier, thanks to buying 100% blueberry juice. You are welcome to smash your own blueberries but I chose not to do this for two reasons.

1) I don't like wasting the blueberries and to get the juice you have to toss out some of the blueberries (so sad).
2) I don't like taking extra steps and smashing the blueberries then straining them is just a little too much work for me when there's a much easier, more efficient alternative: buying blueberry juice.

Now make sure you get 100% blueberry juice. Not juice cocktail.

Here's a little tip to get extra mileage on your margs: If you are like me and like really big drinks (that aren't super strong), I like to make this recipe and add about 4-8 ounces of lime-flavored seltzer or soda water.

Obviously, you'll need a bigger cup but you get more without sacrificing too much flavor. And you can always add a splash or two extra of lime or blueberry juice.

I think margaritas are personal, so feel free to play with the ingredient amounts. Sometimes I want things a little sweeter so I'll add more triple sec. Other times, I'll use a little less tequila when I want less of a bite (or I'll add more seltzer water).

I will be enjoying these with my festive Mardi Gras tacos.

Cheers!!
