Blueberry Meyer Lemon Margarita
The star of this margarita recipe is the fresh blueberries.
The gorgeous deep purple color of this margarita comes from making a simple syrup using fresh blueberries.
A simple syrup is of course simple to make. Add the simple syrup ingredients to a small sauce pan, bring to a boil and then simmer.
Strain the blueberry pulp from the syrup and chill before making the Blueberry Lemon Meyer Margarita.
Once the blueberry simple syrup has cooled and you are ready to make the Blueberry Meyer Lemon Margaritas prepare two small plates by squeezing the juice of ½ a Meyer lemon onto one plate. Sprinkle the second plate with salt.
Fill a cocktail shaker or quart size mason jar ¾ full of ice. Add the tequila, triple sec, Meyer lemon juice and blueberry simple syrup. Cover with a lid and shake.
Twist the rim of two glasses into the Meyer lemon juice then the salt. Fill the glasses with ice. Divide the Blueberry Lemon Margarita between the two glasses.
Garnish with fresh blueberries and lemon wedges.
