tequila, blueberries, lime juice, simple syrup, orange bitters

I found this recipe on foodandwine.com.

Continuing my weekend of berry cocktails – gotta use up all these berries!

Tequila continues to surprise me. I’ve had tequila with so many different fruits, and it’s fresh taste goes perfectly with each one. I’ve even had tequila with egg nog and in cream drinks – still works. I’ve tried tequila with ginger beer, with blue curaçao, and with rum – still works. It’s the all-around easy-going spirit in the mixology world.

Back up – I think vodka is actually the more “easy-going” spirit as far as going with damn near everything. But that’s only because vodka tastes like nothing.

This tequila drink, AS ALWAYS, is lovely. The only thing I’d change (and did change) is the salt. I like salt on a margarita glass, but the blueberry flavor in this margarita is too delicate for it. I wiped it off the glass and, tada! I was able to taste the blueberries. As expected, the tequila was perfectly friendly with the blueberries, this is delicious.

Oops – one other change from the recipe. The recipe calls for reposado or añejo tequila, I used silver. It really doesn’t matter.
