Ingredients

Cocktail Rim:

1 lime
sea salt flakes

Margarita:

1/4 cup fresh blueberries plus extra for garnish
0.75 oz. fresh lime juice 1-2 limes depending on how juicy they are
0.50 oz. simple syrup
ice
2 oz. silver tequila
1 oz. Cointreau

Garnish:

extra blueberries
lime rounds
sprigs of mint

Instructions

Zest one of the limes and mix the zest with a handful of sea salt flakes. Cut the lime in half and run one of the cut sides around the edge of a cocktail glass. Dip the rim of the glass into the lime salt and twist it around so the salt sticks. (You can juice the rest of this lime to use in the cocktail.)

Make Your Own Simple Syrup: To make your own simple syrup, just combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan. Heat gently, stirring until the sugar dissolves, then let it cool. Store it in the fridge for up to a month.
