Blueberry Bacarita

Blueberry Bacarita

What's a bacarita?  It's a lime based cocktail with an agave spirit...so *almost* a margarita, except this spirit is made from an agave variety called Bacanora.  In honor of the hometown team's playoff performance, I decided to make a "BLUES" version - which is, incidentally, not blue at all.  But it's delish!

In a cocktail shaker with ice, blend:

1 shot lime juice
1 shot blueberry syrup (recipe below)
1/2 shot blue curacao
1 1/2 shots Bacanora

Pour into a chilled, salt-sugar rimmed glass and ENJOY!

Blueberry Syrup
1/2 c. fresh blueberries
1/2 c. water
2 T butter
1/4 c. sugar

Boil until berries are softened.  Smash, strain through a fine sieve, then cover and cool until ready to use.
