  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 7 min

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz tequila (silver or blanco recommended)

  • 0.75 oz fresh lime juice

  • 1 oz full-fat coconut milk (from a can, well shaken)

  • 0.5 oz orange liqueur (Cointreau or triple sec)

  • 0.5 oz agave syrup

  • 0.25 oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)

  • A small handful of fresh blueberries

  • Ice cubes

Optional Garnish

  • Salt or sugar for rimming

  • Fresh blueberries

  • Dried lime slice or wedge


Instructions

Preparation

Step 1: Rim the glass (optional)
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.

Step 3: Add liquid ingredients
Add 1.5 oz tequila, 0.75 oz lime juice, 1 oz coconut milk, 0.5 oz orange liqueur, 0.5 oz agave syrup, and 0.25 oz simple syrup to the shaker.

Step 4: Shake it up
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.

Step 6: Garnish and enjoy
Top with a few blueberries and a dried lime slice or wedge. Serve immediately and enjoy every luxuriously tart, tropical sip.

Notes

  • Full-fat coconut milk creates the richest, creamiest texture—shake the can well before using

  • Strain carefully to remove blueberry bits for a smooth sip

  • Adjust the sweetness by increasing or reducing the simple syrup

  • Use high-quality tequila blanco for the cleanest flavor

  • Fresh lime juice is a must—avoid bottled juice for best results
