I know, I know, you and I both had some bad experiences with frozen cocktails in college, but give this one a chance! It’s made with all-natural ingredients and it is definitely not too sweet. I used reposado for the margaritas you see here, and its oaky notes muddied up the delicate blueberry flavor. I really recommend silver or blanco tequila for this drink, rather than reposado (rested) or añejo (aged). My grandmother went there in college and I did, too!īlueberries aren’t quite in season yet, so I used frozen organic blueberries, which are actually preferable because they help lend a slushy consistency to the drink. They’re modeled after the blueberry margaritas at The Mont in Norman, Oklahoma, which is an institution. I took advantage of the sunshine yesterday to bring you some refreshing blueberry margaritas, which would be just perfect for storm sipping. I want to poke the clouds and shout, “Do something!” We caught some much-needed sunshine yesterday afternoon and we’re supposed to get more this afternoon, before the sky goes gray again. I can’t recall a more dreary, boring spring. Mix the ingredients: Pour the tequila, lime juice, triple sec and agave syrup in a blender with a handful of ice and blend until smooth. Days upon days upon days, with a few hours of sunshine and some rain here and there. Pour some salt on a small plate/bowl (you can mix with a bit of chili powder to make chili salt). Kansas City has been covered up by gray clouds for days. Spring in Oklahoma is rarely boring, oftentimes terrifying and mostly exhilarating. Sometimes the clouds turn black, the air goes green and the tornado sirens start wailing.

Inevitably, on those days, the wind will pick up and my hair will turn into a million little whips again, all flailing in different directions. I miss the eerily still, humid mornings that prickle the back of my neck and tell me something isn’t quite right. I miss the way the energy crackles in the air as the warm, southern winds crash into the cooler winds from the north. Spring weather comes on with a vengeance in central Oklahoma, where I grew up.
