It is fruity but not too sweet, and it reminds me of a seaside sunset. I can taste summer in every sip of this cocktail, made with muddled blueberries, tangerines, basil and lime.

Drop in blueberries, add a lime slice and fill glasses to the top with. Rim glasses with lime juice and coat in sugar.

This year, since we have had a bit more time on our hands, Keith has been experimenting more. Place a pan with water to boil on the stove, add the sugar in and stir until dissolved. People rave about his famous Iceberg Margaritas (made with beer), but his Pink Pom Poms are also my personal favorite. And no one makes a better classic margarita than Keith. When the weather begins to turn, we get a hankering for a good tequila cocktail. Sunshine and margaritas are a match made in heaven. This tequila cocktail is made for summer entertaining. Light, crisp and perfectly sweet, a Blueberry Margarita is paradise in a glass.
