In just 5 minutes, you can have a delicious drink that will be sure to bring you back to happier days....like when you were on vacation. I had a similar drink when I went to Nantuckett, with the boy, Liz, and Lloyd. It had tequila, blueberries, and mint--sooo good! After seeing Jess doing a margarita with strawberries, I knew I had to try to replicate the drink that I had when I wasn't working...for two weeks...and my idea of a busy day was walking on the beach.
I had one of these on Saturday while watching Beauty and the Beast--this may sound juvenile, but I am a firm believer that Belle is the best princess... She read books, wouldn't settle for that jerk Gaston, and looked past outside appearances to the big heart that was the beast!

*Le sigh*
Anyways.. I hold firm to the fact that since alcohol was involved, this was an activity that adults can do without being embarrassed and I highly recommend it!!
Especially when you drink this...
Blueberry Margarita
Inspired by How Sweet Eats
1.5 shots of Tequila
2 shots of Cointreau (or if you aren't a grad student...Grand Manier)
2 shots lime juice
2 shots blueberry simple syrup (recipe below)
For simple syrup, start with this as a base. ----I made a huge batch of this about a month ago, and still use it when I have a margarita craving : )

After---the color is gorgeous! |
Notice the flecks of blueberry and THE COLOR! So refreshing :) |
I think this would have been fabulous with mint, but alas, I didn't have any mint. So I added an extra half a shot of tequila to balance it out (....).
Delish! Belle would definitely approve!
LOVED this post- obvi! Want that drink... now!
ReplyDeleteI think this may just have replaced the Mojito as my favourite cocktail. Delighted to meet you Rachel. Buzzzz!
