Wild blueberry jam gives this margarita concentrated berry flavor and a beautiful jewel-toned color without requiring a blender. Blanco tequila and fresh lime keep the drink bright, while orange liqueur and agave round out the tart fruit.

Wild Blueberry Jam Margarita
Who says the jam has to stay on the breakfast table? I love finding a different use for something familiar, and wild blueberry jam makes a delicious addition to a margarita. It brings a deep berry flavor and beautiful color, while fresh lime and orange liqueur keep the tequila company. There’s no fruit syrup to make—just a spoonful of jam and a good shake. It’s a favorite Mexican cocktail with a little American pantry ingenuity mixed in. Garnish it with blueberries and lime, and that humble jar of jam suddenly feels ready for happy hour!
