Run a lime wedge around the rim of your margarita or rocks glass. Dip the rim into coarse salt or sugar, depending on your flavor preference. Set aside.
Step 2: Muddle the blueberries
In a cocktail shaker, add a small handful of fresh blueberries. Muddle thoroughly until they release their juices and create a rich base.

Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15–20 seconds until the drink is well chilled and creamy.
Step 5: Strain and serve
Double strain into your prepared glass over fresh ice to remove blueberry skins and seeds. This keeps the texture smooth and elegant.

FAQs
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes! Thaw them first and muddle as you would fresh berries. They still release great flavor and color.
Is coconut cream the same as coconut milk?
No—coconut cream is much thicker and sweeter. Use full-fat coconut milk for this recipe unless you want a dessert-style version.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes—mix everything but the ice and blueberries. Shake with ice and muddle berries right before serving.
Is this margarita strong?
It’s balanced. The tequila gives it classic margarita strength, but the coconut milk and fruit mellow it out.
What if I don’t have agave syrup?
You can use honey or maple syrup, but the flavor will be slightly different. Simple syrup also works well.
