Sip on some Fiesta
Celebrate Cinco de Mayo with a fruity twist! Our Blueberry Ginger Margarita recipe is the perfect blend of sweet and spicy, guaranteed to be a hit at your fiesta!Â
Ginger Blueberry tea is one of our top selling teas, with a beautiful balance of ginger and blueberry.
For ease, we use a blueberry puree for a touch of sweetness, but you can use fresh or frozen and defrosted blueberries for this recipe. Frozen blueberries will actually give you the most vibrant color, but a few fresh blueberries can make a beautiful garnish. If you use fresh/frozen blueberries, add them into your cocktail shaker first and muddle before adding your ice and cubes and other ingredients.
A SWEET AND SPICY DELIGHT
Blueberry and ginger can make for a unique and delicious margarita flavor, as the sweetness of the blueberries pairs well with the slightly spicy and aromatic flavor of ginger.
For a more enhanced ginger flavor, we'd recommend skipping the blueberry puree and adding .5 oz simple syrup instead. You can also use candied ginger to rim your glass instead of salt or sugar.
Ginger Blueberry
Fresh mountain air, spices, berries and wild herbs - these are a few of our favorite things! Our Ginger Blueberry herbal tea is full of calming ingredients to help promote a peaceful state of mind. The ginger and blueberries give it a sweet and spicy kick.
