Name: Blueberry Jalapeno Margaritas
Ingredients: lime wedge; 1/4 cup of sugar (I used maple sugar) or coarse salt; 1 cup water; 1/3 cup honey (or agave if you are ok with that); 2 jalapeños, sliced; juice of 1/2 lime; 1 cup blueberries; 1/2 cup lime juice; 1 cup blue agave silver tequila; mint leaves, for garnish; lime wedges, for garnish

Saucepan

Whisk

To make your life easier, get the glasses ready first then set in the freezer until you are ready with your drink. Use a lime wedge to wet the rim of a glass then place sugar or salt on a plate and dip the rim of the glass in it and all the way around. Then add crushed ice to the glass. Repeat with 4 glasses. Place in freezer.

Place all the ingredients for the simple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk and let simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat to let cool.

Once slightly cool, remove 4-5 slices of jalapeño for garnish then pour the rest of the simple syrup into a high speed blender along with 1 cup of blueberries. Puree for almost 1 minute until everything is completely combine. Pour mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a jar.

Fill a cocktail shaker with the blueberry mixture, lime juice, and tequilla along with a couple ice cubes. Cover and shake. Strain mixture into chilled glasses and garnish with blueberries, candied jalapeños, mint and lime.
