Ingredients
Scale
Liquids
- 2 oz tequila (silver or reposado)
- 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 oz pineapple juice
- 3/4 oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)
Fruits
- A handful of fresh blueberries (plus extras for garnish)
- Pineapple wedge or lime wheel for garnish
Others
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Muddle the Blueberries: In a cocktail shaker, add a handful of fresh blueberries. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently crush the blueberries to release their juices. This will give the drink a beautiful purple hue and add a tart, fruity depth.
- Add the Liquids: To the shaker, add the tequila, freshly squeezed lime juice, pineapple juice, and simple syrup. The combination balances tartness and tropical sweetness for a flavorful base.
- Shake with Ice: Fill the shaker with ice, secure the lid tightly, and shake vigorously for about 15 to 20 seconds. This chills the cocktail and slightly dilutes it, ensuring a smooth, well-balanced drink.
- Serve and Garnish: Strain the cocktail into a serving glass filled with ice. Garnish with extra fresh blueberries and a pineapple wedge or lime wheel for an attractive presentation and additional aroma.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of simple syrup to your preferred sweetness level.
- Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the best flavor and color.
- Silver tequila will offer a cleaner, crisper taste, while reposado adds a hint of oakiness.
- To make a larger batch, simply multiply ingredients accordingly and shake in batches.
- For a frozen version, blend the ingredients with ice instead of shaking.
