If there was ever a time for margaritas (and there usually is), it’s summer. It’s hard to beat a cooling marg on a hot summer day—especially when you add blueberries into the mix! This margarita pitcher from Simply Recipes is perfect for spending time outdoors with friends and family.

You’ll need:
4 cups tequila blanco
2 cups orange liqueur (like Triple Sec or Cointreau)
1 cup lime juice
3 cups blueberries
A few sprigs of mint
Agave nectar or simple syrup (to sweeten if needed)
Ice
Kosher or flake salt (for rimming the glass)
Extra blueberries + lime wedges for garnish

Directions:
Add the tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and blueberries into a blender and pulse 8-10 times. Allow your ingredients to infuse for at least 30 minutes. Pour your mixture into a bowl, add the mint and muddle together. Allow that to infuse for five minutes. Pour your mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher with ice. Be sure to press the solid mixture into the strainer with the back of spoon to get all of the liquid out. Sweeten if needed, rim your glasses with salt, pour your margaritas, garnish with blueberries and lime, and serve them up!
