Ingredients
  

Cocktail Ingredients
  • 2 ounces Blanco Tequila 100% Agave preferred
  • 1.5 ounces Pineapple Juice 100% pure juice
  • 1 ounce Fresh Lime Juice Freshly squeezed only
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Blueberries Plus extra for garnish
  • 0.5 ounce Orange Liqueur Cointreau or Triple Sec
  • 0.5 ounce Agave Nectar Adjust to taste
Garnish & Ice
  • 1 tablespoon Coarse Salt or Tajin For rimming the glass
  • 1 cup Crushed Ice For serving
  • 2 leaves Pineapple Fronds For visual garnish

Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Muddler
  • Hawthorne Strainer
  • Fine-mesh strainer

Method
 

  1. Prepare your glass: Rub a lime wedge along the rim of a rocks glass and dip it into your coarse salt or Tajin to coat the edge. Fill the glass to the top with crushed ice.
  2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the fresh blueberries and agave nectar. Use a muddler to crush the berries thoroughly to release their juices.
  3. Add the Blanco Tequila, pineapple juice, fresh lime juice, and orange liqueur to the shaker.
  4. Fill the shaker halfway with ice cubes, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty.
  5. Double strain the cocktail by pouring it through a fine mesh strainer over your prepared, ice-filled rocks glass to remove all berry pulp.
  6. Garnish with a fresh blueberry on a cocktail pick and two pineapple fronds tucked into the ice. Serve immediately.

Notes

To make a pitcher for a party, multiply all liquid ingredients by 8. Instead of muddling fresh berries, make a quick blueberry simple syrup to save time and ensure a smooth texture.
