Blueberry Pomegranate Margarita

While we all love a classic margarita with fresh lime juice and a salted rim, there are times that call for a more festive version.  At Dos Caminos, a trendy Mexican restaurant in New York, a new recipe using a blend of blueberry and pomegranate juice has become a popular cocktail on the menu.

Simple to make, this drink has a touch of sweetness with just enough tartness to make it a refreshing compliment to the restaurant’s spicy cuisine.  And, with its bright magenta color, it would make quite a statement as the signature drink at your next fiesta!

INGREDIENTS
1 oz Lowland white tequila (Partida or Herradura)
1 oz blueberry pomegranate juice
1/2 ounce triple sec
juice of half a lime

MIXING NOTES
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker.
Shake hard with ice.

Garnish with a few blueberries.

INSIDER NOTES
