Method
Blueberry Margarita
Muddle blueberries
In a cocktail shaker, add 8 fresh blueberries and the simple syrup (0.25 oz). Muddle firmly until the berries are broken down and release their juice (about 20–30 seconds).
Combine and shake
Add 2 oz blanco tequila, 0.5 oz blueberry liqueur (or blueberry syrup), 1 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz triple sec, and 6 oz of ice to the shaker. Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until well-chilled and slightly frothy.
Strain and serve
Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared glass over fresh ice (use a fine mesh strainer to catch berry solids). Garnish with 3–4 fresh blueberries skewered or dropped into the drink and a lime wedge. Serve immediately.
Mango Margarita
Prepare glass
Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a chilled rocks or margarita glass and dip into coarse salt or Tajín. Set aside.
Combine and shake
In a cocktail shaker add 2 oz blanco tequila, 1 oz mango puree, 1 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz triple sec, 0.5 oz agave nectar (or simple syrup), and 6 oz ice. Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the mixture is cold and the puree is well incorporated.
Strain and serve
Strain into the prepared glass over fresh ice. If the puree has pulp, use a fine mesh strainer for a smoother texture. Garnish with a mango slice and a lime wedge. Serve immediately.
Prickly Pear Margarita
Combine and shake
In a cocktail shaker combine 2 oz blanco tequila, 1 oz prickly pear syrup (or puree), 1 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz triple sec, 0.25 oz agave nectar (only if the prickly pear syrup is unsweetened), and 6 oz ice. Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until well-chilled and slightly diluted.
Strain and serve
Double-strain into the prepared glass over fresh ice to remove any seeds or pulp. Garnish with a lime wheel and a lime wedge. Serve immediately.
