Notes
Tequila: Blanco works great for a bright, clean flavor. Reposado adds a little warmth and depth if you want something slightly richer.
Rim: Sugar is the sweeter, fruitier choice and pairs beautifully with the blueberry. Salt works too if you prefer a more classic margarita vibe.
Lime juice: Always use fresh — bottled lime juice won't give you the same bright, tart flavor.
Make-ahead: The blueberry syrup can be made up to 2 weeks in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Frozen variation: To make a frozen blueberry margarita, add all ingredients to a blender with 1 cup of ice and blend until smooth.
