Whether you’re participating in #DryJanuary or #DrunkJanuary, this Blackberry Mint Lavender Margarita is perfect either way.
I’ve shared several ways to use mint for your simple syrups below. I chose to start with the mint/lavender combination and it’s the gift that keeps on giving.
So, don’t forget to make your mint/lavender simple syrup before starting this cocktail. If you don’t have lavender or mint, you can still make it with what you have and it’ll turn out deliciously.
Ingredients (makes 1 serving):
7 blueberries
2 oz. tequila
1 oz. mint lavender simple syrup
1 oz. fresh lime juice
6 mint leaves
Club soda, if making a mocktail
Instructions:
Muddle blueberries in mixing tin or cocktail shaker.
Add the remaining ingredients (except tequila for the cocktail and club soda if making a mocktail) to the mixing tin along with ice. Shake for 10-15 seconds.
Pour into margarita glass. For a mocktail, top with club soda.
Garnish with blackberries or lime.
Super simple yet so much flavor! Would you give this a try?
