Inspired by our love of Lemon Blueberry Margs, this brightly colored daiquiri has major springtime vibes. Between the fruity sweetness of the berries and the bright, citrusy flavor, the rum tends to fade to the background, making these surprisingly drinkable despite the strength. (So please drink responsibly!)
For a top-notch drinking experience, chill your coupes in the freezer while you prepare your cocktail. There’s enough blueberry syrup in this recipe for at least 4 drinks, so grab a couple friends and toast to spring!
