How to make a Blueberry Sunrise Margarita

This margarita might be one of my best margarita recipe is a long time.  It's my take on a Tequila Sunrise, the drink with the layers of yellow (from OJ) and orangeish-red (from grenadine), so it looks like the sky when the sun is rising.

Watch the video on how to make a margarita

Mine has blueberries in it instead of the grenadine. Once the drink is mixed up, it looks more like a blueish-pinky-purple sunset than a sunrise; however, it doesn't really matter the color. 

Drink a few of these Blueberry Sunrise Margaritas and it will look any color you want it to be.

I used blueberries for this margarita because I live in New England and blueberries are a big thang up here.  Wild blueberries are all over the place up here.

Literally, blueberries just grow rampant in people's backyards, including mine, so this is my little homage to nature's most potent antioxidant.

Speaking of antioxidants, this margarita could be considered a health drink because of the blueberries, OJ, and fresh lime juice. 

Now, I'm not a licensed Doctor, but I like to play one on this blog, so take this 411 and run with it.

Like really run with it...down the street...to your neighbors and let them know that they too can partake in the many health benefits of this Blueberry Sunrise Margarita. 

Breakfast will never be the same...or the neighborhood because now you'll have a bunch of drunkards for neighbors. #dontblameme

Ingredients

  • ½ cup fresh wild blueberries , can use frozen
  • 1 tablespoon organic blue agave sweetener
  • 4 ounces Tequila
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 2 ounce orange liqueur , like Grand Marnier
  • 2 ounces fresh lime juice

Optional: fresh lime slices for garnish & sugar to coat rim of glass

    Instructions

    • In a small saucepan, cook blueberries and agave over medium-high heat over 3-5 minutes, stirring and mashing the blueberries with a spoon to break them up. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
    • In a small pitcher, combine the tequila, orange juice, orange liqueur, and lime juice. Set aside.
    • Place some sugar on shallow bowl or plate, wet the rim of two glasses with a lime slice and dip into the sugar so it coats the rim on all sides. Divide the cooled blueberry mixture among the two glasses, then add the desired amount of ice to each glass. Carefully pour the prepared margarita mixture evenly into the two prepared glasses and stir to mix together the flavors. CHEERS!

      How did I miss this one?? Loving everything about it! The blueberry touch is so unique and so good! And I agree, that yellow rim is appealing to the eye and lovely to the mouth. We are not skilled in cocktail making, I'd really love that someone would prepare this blueberry sunrise margarita for us!

      This sounds fun. The margaritas I make are very serious. I need to try this recipe. Then maybe I wouldn't have to limit myself to two drinks!

      I' already surrounded by a bunch of drunkards so this blueish-pinkey-purple margarita will fit right in! I'm jealous of your rampant growing blueberries! I can't imagine how awesome that would be. Happy Margarita Week!

      Girl, you sure do give good health advice Does that mean I can drink for breakfast? No? Too far? Yeah, kinda thought so
      Bahaha....all I'm picturing now is people running around like crazy, drinks in hand, falling around and eating blueberries cause they have the munchies from drinking a few of these Blueberries grow awesome here too and I think we have some of the best anywhere.....though, that's just me Love the take on this recipe using them and the rimmer you used is the perfect colour/flavour contrast. Pinning, of course! Cheers girlie! XOXO
