A classic gin Rickey is a simple combination of bourbon and carbonated water. I’m not a huge fan of its basic flavor, which is why I like to give it a fruity twist.

The tartness from the berries counterbalances the sweetness.
16. Frozen Blueberry Margaritas
While the goodness of a classic lime margarita can’t be denied, I also can’t say no to this frozen blueberry variation. This margarita has the same sweet and tart refreshing flavors as the original, but with a twist.
