Notes
Make it your own: Experiment with different berries like raspberries or strawberries, or swap limeade for fresh lime juice and agave. For a smoky twist, try mezcal instead of tequila. Consider adding fresh mint or basil for an herbal infusion, or a sweet & spicy rim with chili powder and sugar.
Tips for success: Adjust sriracha to your taste; start with ¼ tsp if unsure. Fresh blueberries yield the brightest flavor and most vibrant color. Avoid over-blending after adding tequila. Chill glasses beforehand for an extra frosty drink. To make a mocktail, simply omit the tequila.
Storage: The blueberry-sriracha-limeade base (without tequila) can be made 1-2 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Stir well before adding tequila and serving.
