Margaritas have to be one of my favorite drinks ever. My perfect girls night includes lots of chips, salsa and guacamole and plenty of margaritas to go round. I am more of a sweet/flavored margarita girl. Don’t get me wrong, I will drink the original lime version, but I would rather have strawberry or something fruity. So when I saw this blueberry margarita in my Cooking Light magazine I knew I had to make it. And what better time to make it then when you have a friend over!

A couple weeks ago, I had one of my good friends over for the day. I had a ton of stuff I needed to cook and make for the blog before I left on a trip. So she came to help. She taste tested, chopped things for me, and most importantly cleaned up after me!

I am thinking I need to set up a schedule, so she can be here every time I need to test recipes. Doing the dishes and cleaning up is the worst part! Don’t worry, I rewarded her well with blueberry margaritas!  Next time I think I might give these Pineapple Margaritas a try!

Fresh blueberries are all over the place right now. When I saw a big huge container of them at the store for $2, I knew it was time to test out the blueberry margarita recipe I was eyeing. It was super easy to make too! That gorgeous pink color, just from mashing a few blueberries. In a pitcher you muddle together blueberries and mint, add tequila, lime juice, and a sweetener – done! Putting the blueberries on a toothpick or skewer for serving is obviously pretty, but not necessary.  Although letting it sit in your drink and soak up the margarita, makes for a tasty treat after you are done. You can make a big pitcher of these blueberry margaritas, or just mix up one for your happy hour. Either way, snag some of those fresh blueberries and get to work!
