1 cup blueberries
½ cup lime juice
1 cup blue agave silver tequila

Directions
Use a lime wedge to wet the rim of a glass then place Wood's Maple Sugar on a plate and dip the rim of the glass in it. Add crushed ice to the glass then place into freezer.
Place all the ingredients for the simple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk, and let simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from heat to let cool.
Once slightly cool, remove 4-5 slices of jalapeño for garnish then pour the rest of the simple syrup into a high-speed blender along with 1 cup of blueberries. Puree for almost 1 minute until everything is completely combined. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a jar.
Fill a cocktail shaker with the blueberry mixture, lime juice, and tequila along with a couple of ice cubes. Cover and shake.
Strain mixture into chilled glasses and garnish with blueberries, candied jalapeños, mint, and lime.
