💙🌙 Midnight Blue Margarita

Smooth, citrusy, and dripping with berry-rich vibes—your new signature sip.

📝 Ingredients (Serves 1):

• 1.5 oz tequila blanco (smooth and clean – choose a good quality one)

• 0.5 oz blue curaçao (adds color and sweet citrus notes)

• 0.75 oz blueberry syrup (see homemade version below)

• 0.5 oz Meyer lemon juice (or regular lemon juice – Meyer adds a floral, mellow touch)

• Ice (for shaking and serving)

🍇 Garnish:

• Skewered fresh blueberries or a lemon twist

🥃 Glassware:

• Old fashioned or rocks glass

🍸 Instructions:

1. Make the blueberry syrup (if not using store-bought):

     • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

     • 1/2 cup sugar

     • 1/2 cup water

   • Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 5–7 minutes, gently mashing berries.

   • Strain through a fine mesh sieve, cool completely. Store in fridge up to 1 week.

2. Chill your glass:

   • 0.5 oz Meyer lemon juice

   • A handful of ice

   Strain the margarita into your glass over ice.

6. Garnish:
   Add a skewer of blueberries or a lemon twist on the rim.
