3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to make blueberry margaritas (or mocktails) and refrigerate separately.

Next, layer 1-2 tablespoons of 1-2 tablespoons of blueberry margarita and a few fresh blueberries, then layer a scoop of ice cream. Pour soda water over the top to create a float.
5. Garnish as desired with extra berries. Cheers!
