Notes
Store fresh blueberries in the refrigerator and use them within 5-7 days for the best flavor.
Make simple syrup by combining equal parts sugar and water in a pot.
Heat until the sugar dissolves, then let it cool before using.
Silver (blanco) tequila works best because aged varieties can overpower the blueberry taste.
For a stronger berry flavor, let the muddled blueberries sit in the simple syrup for 5 minutes before adding other ingredients.
