This drink is incredibly simple to mix but feels fancy enough for parties, celebrations, or even just an elevated evening at home.
Whether you’re lounging poolside, hosting brunch, or need something that balances fruitiness with a slight bite, this cocktail delivers on flavor, color, and style.
Ingredients
• 2 oz tequila
• 1 oz blueberry syrup (or fresh blueberries muddled with sugar)
• 1 oz pineapple juice
• 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
• 1/4 oz simple syrup (optional, depending on sweetness preference)
• Ice cubes
• Fresh blueberries (for garnish)
• Lime wheel (for garnish)
Instructions
Fill a shaker with ice cubes. Add tequila, blueberry syrup, pineapple juice, lime juice, and simple syrup (if using). Shake vigorously until well chilled. Strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice cubes. Garnish with fresh blueberries and a lime wheel. Serve immediately and enjoy the fruity tequila magic!
Chef’s Tips
Use fresh lime juice for the brightest flavor. If using fresh blueberries, muddle with sugar to make your own quick syrup. Silver tequila works best for a clean base, but reposado adds extra depth. Chill your serving glass ahead of time for a crisp, cool sip. Adjust sweetness by skipping or adding simple syrup to taste.
Serving Suggestions
Serve in a rocks glass or coupe for an elegant look. Add edible flowers or a sugar rim for a decorative touch. Pair with spicy dishes like tacos or jalapeño poppers to balance heat with fruit. Make it a mocktail by swapping tequila for soda water or coconut water.
