I suppose we ’ve all seen amalgamations that get out of hand with creativity, and we have presumably all encountered when a margarita gets a bit too crazy.
I am allowing about margaritas made with wonky constituents like bubblegum, fish sauce, or chocolate. I suppose the worst I ever saw was a dill- passionfruit seasoned “ margarita ” where the tequila was shifted out for vodka.
Vodka! Can you imagine?!
still, also the form should be kept simple so that the rates that made original so spectacular still shine, but the drink can be endured in a new way, If you ’re going to variation on a classic.
Take, for illustration, this blueberry margarita. It has all the traditional constituents( tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice) but also the addition of blueberries and just the barest tale of mint. The result is still distinctly a margarita, but with a bold new color and gooey flavor that respects the tequila and lime.
It’s a new blend to keep in mind for any improvisational haunts you be to host this summer — and a surefire megahit with the margarita suckers in your life.
Try One of These Variations!
- Frozen Blueberry Margaritas : Feel free to use frozen blueberries in place of fresh, just be sure to thaw them first. Or do n’t! Put them in firmed with four mugs of ice and the mint and blend down for blueberry slushy margaritas.
- Blackberry Margaritas Blackberries : make for a awful negotiation in this form, or use a bit of both.
RECIPE :
SERVINGS : 10 to 14 Servings
NOTE : Buy tequila whose label indicates it has been aged for at least two months and is "100% de agave."
INGREDIENTS :
- 4 cups tequila blanco (also called plato or silver tequila)
- 2 cups orange liqueur such as Triple Sec or Cointreau
- 1 cup lime juice
- 3 cups blueberries
- A few sprigs of mint
- Agave nectar or simple syrup, to sweeten if needed
- Ice
- Kosher or flake salt (not iodized) for rimming the glasses (optional)
- Extra blueberries and lime wedges for garnish (optional)
METHOD :
1- Infuse the tequila :
Place the tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and blueberries in a blender and pulse 8 to 10 times. Allow the ingredients to infuse for at least 30 minutes.
2- Muddle the mixture:
Pour the mixture into a bowl, add the mint, and muddle together (i.e., bruise up the mint) with a muddler, dowel, or a wooden spoon. Allow to infuse for about 5 minutes.
3- Strain the solids:
Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher filled with ice. Press the solids with the back of a spoon to get all of the liquid out.
4- Taste and sweeten if needed:
Give the margaritas a taste and stir in agave nectar or simple syrup to sweeten, if needed.
5- Rim the glass:
If you like margaritas with salt on the glass, then take a small plate or bowl and fill it with the salt. Next, take a glass (a cocktail or coupe glass will do, but a canning jar is just as easy) and rub the rim of it with a wedge of lime. Dip the glass into the salt and give it a turn or two.
6- Serve the margaritas:
Pour the margaritas into the prepared glasses. Garnish with lime wedges or blueberries skewered on a cocktail spear or toothpick.
