Blueberry Margarita
Is everyone ready for blueberry season? Here in South Georgia, we are! Blueberries can be harvested between April and late September so I am ready for the farmer’s market to start overflowing with fresh picked blueberries!
My husband Brooks loves to eat them frozen. He will fill up a 22-ounce cup with frozen blueberries and sit and pop them in his mouth.
I could never get my youngest, Connor, to eat them until his “Mimi” called them “pops” and made them fun.
Now he likes them… Figures. I think I have just enough left until we can go blueberry picking again to make a Blueberry Margarita!

I will still buy blueberries at the store when they are super cheap, as long as they are from a local source, and freeze them.They are so good for you and they make a tasty snack in the summer.
If you don’t happen to have access to fresh blueberries, don’t worry. I used frozen blueberries to make this blueberry margarita so I can make it all year long and I think everyone has access to frozen blueberries in their grocery stores.
Here are a few pictures from our blueberry picking from last summer! I am using a bag of frozen blueberries from our haul.
Braxton couldn’t believe how big they were. Connor just wanted to keep the neck buckets and play with them in the tub! We filled up two of these buckets so we had a ton of blueberries!! I frozen them all for later use.
How to Freeze Blueberries
- wash and dry them on paper towels
- lay flat on a parchment-lined or wax paper-lined baking sheet in a single layer
- place in the freezer until frozen solid
- when all the berries are frozen, transfer to a freezer bag and store until ready to make your drink or pop in your mouth
How to Make Blueberry Puree
First: Combine frozen blueberries and water in equal portions in a blender.
Second: Blend until the blueberries are broken down.
Third: Store in the fridge until ready to use.
This blueberry margarita has all the traditional flavors of the classic margarita with the tangy sweetness of blueberries. I don’t use the “margarita mix” for this because I think it is too sweet and it usually has a lot of corn syrup/chemicals in it.
You don’t need to use the pre-made stuff as it is pretty simple to make a margarita with just a few ingredients. Lime juice (fresh-squeezed is best), tequila, orange liqueur (triple sec) or you can use a bit of orange juice, and some simple syrup.
How to Make A Blueberry Margarita
First: Combine the tequila, blueberry puree, triple sec, simple syrup, and lime juice in a cocktail shaker. Shake until combined.
Second: Pour the soda into the shaker and stir by hand.
Third: Pour into 6 glasses with ice.
Fourth: Garnish with salt, lime wedges, and frozen blueberries if you like. Enjoy!

How to Serve a Blueberry Margarita
I like to make the blueberry puree when I am ready to serve the cocktails because it keeps them colder.
Smash some fresh or frozen ones to release the blueberry flavor in the cocktail shaker and then add the other ingredients.
Use the frozen blueberries as ice if you prefer not to use ice cubes all together. I know that some people don’t like to use ice because it melts and waters down your drink but, quite frankly, I drink mine too fast for that to occur.
Grab your blueberry picking buckets (or shopping carts) and grab some blueberries. This blueberry margarita should be in your hand PRONTO!

Only thing I changed was I poured in 1/2 cup pure organic maple syrup with blueberries and water (purée). Omitted simple syrup and used passion fruit club soda (hand stirred). Came out perfectly for our taste. Great recipe to use up frozen blueberries.
What a great idea! I will add that to the post notes. Thank you!
How many margaritas does this recipe make?
In the directions it says pour into 6 glasses then below that it says yield:4 ???
Sorry that was a typo. It makes 6 margaritas when served over ice. If you use less ice you can increase the amount in each glass and make just 4.
This cocktail looks delicious! Thanks for sharing your recipe at Craft Frenzy Friday at Mom Home Guide!

I also definitely overload on blueberries when they’re in season — and then stock up with the frozen kind so we can enjoy them year-round 🙂 And these margaritas look like the perfect fun drink to sip on all summer long! Pinned!
I wish I wasn’t on a month of no alcohol at the moment because I sooooooo want to try these – I have the blueberries ready to go and everything! Pinned and will try them out in June! 🙂
Just pop them in the freezer and use them when your no booze time is up. I need to do another one of those for sure!!
Sure thing! Going now!
Oh. My. Goodness. Trying this ASAP! Looks delicious!!
Thank you Alyssa!
Lovely color! love these.

Pass a margarita my way! This is so pretty!
Thank you!
Ooo, don’t these look festive! I’ve been enjoying blueberries lately, too, and can’t wait to give this recipe a try! Cheers!
Thank you Patricia!
When we move to Pennsylvania we will have blueberry picking again–I am so excited. They do not grow where I live now. But in the meantime I have a lot of frozen blueberries that need to be used up and these look perfect!
Frozen ones are just as good. They make great ice cubes!
Oh my goodness that color! *Swoon*
Thanks Erin!
I didn’t realize you were in Georgia too. I am north of Atlanta and cannot wait for blueberries. We love to pick them. This will be my new favorite way to use them.
We are about an hour west of Brunswick. Blueberry and pecan farms all around us!
Oh my goodness that color! *Swoon*
Oh my goodness that color! *Swoon*
How amazing does this look. But don’t judge, I can not do tequila! So I may sub it out for vodka 🙂 HA HA!
Sounds like a perfect summertime bbq drink!
You can easily make a pitcher:)
