Margarita Recipe With Unique Twist Is A Delicious Must Try For Cinco De Mayo
A delicious sweet and tangy frozen blueberry margarita freshly prepared and waiting for the Cinco De Mayo party
Who’s up for margaritas this weekend? Well, this margarita recipe with a unique twist is a delicious must try for your Cinco De Mayo celebrations. I discovered this Frozen Blueberry Margarita recipe a few years ago. And, it’s absolutely refreshing and yummy.
Of course, we often stir up strawberry margaritas in the blender. So, fruity versions of this concoction that helps us hang on are plentiful. But, it was the first time I had seen one using blueberries. I decided to give it a try. And, the results delighted everyone.
Plus, this recipe is great for July 4th celebrations as well. After all, it’s blue! So, add a half and half white and red sugar rim to dress it up for the “red, white and blue theme.” It’s both sweet and tangy and a real crowd pleaser.
I included the super easy recipe below. And, the attached how-to video shows how simple it is to whip up a batch for any celebration involving tequila. So, I hope you enjoy this margarita recipe with a unique twist as a delicious addition to your Cinco De Mayo celebrations!

This Is North Carolina's Favorite Brand Of Tequila
July 24 is National Tequila Day! I can’t wait to observe this special day. And to celebrate why not enjoy some of North Carolina’s favorite tequila. Tequila is characterized by the agave plant. But what makes certain brands better than others? The quality of the tequila is influenced by how much blue agave is in the drink. To be classified as a tequila it must be at least 51%. What makes up the other 49%? Some lower-end distillers use a sugar cane substitute which can contribute to that tequila hangover.
Whether you enjoy it straight either sipping or shots or in a margarita July 24th is the time to celebrate. Other popular tequila cocktails are frozen margaritas (sometimes flavored), the Mexican Mule (think a Moscow Mule with tequila), the Paloma, or the tequila sunrise.
But what is North Carolina’s favorite brand of tequila? Well, it’s not my go-to- that would be 1800. But still a solid choice. BetArizona.com asked the question and did the research based on Google trends. No matter what kind you’re drinking this weekend (responsibly of course) enjoy! I’ll be over here singing Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffett to get ready for the day. “Wastin’ away again in Margaritaville…. Searching for that long-lost shaker of salt….
