INGREDIENTS NOTES

Here’s everything you need to make this recipe. See the recipe card down below for the exact amounts.

HOW TO MAKE BLACKBERRY MARGARITA

In a cocktail shaker, muddle the blackberries with the sugar until the berries release their juices and form a thick mixture.

Pour in the lime juice, triple sec, and silver tequila into the shaker.

Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to mix the flavors.

Strain the mixture with a fine mesh strainer into a glass filled with ice.

Garnish with a lime wedge or fresh blackberries, and serve immediately.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

• Use ripe, juicy blackberries for the best flavor. If they’re a bit tart, you can adjust the sugar to taste.

• If you’d like, rim the glass with sugar or salt. To do this, rub a lime wedge around the rim and dip it in sugar or salt for a beautiful presentation.

• A fine mesh strainer will remove most of the blackberry seeds if you prefer a smoother drink.

• Multiply the ingredients for a party-size pitcher! Simply muddle the blackberries in a bowl, mix all ingredients in a large pitcher, and stir well before serving.

• If you don’t have triple sec, Cointreau or Grand Marnier works beautifully for a slightly richer, more complex flavor.

RECIPE FAQ’S

Can I use frozen blackberries instead of fresh?

Yes! Frozen blackberries work well. Just let them thaw slightly before muddling, as they’ll release their juices more easily when softened.

What’s the best tequila to use?

Blanco (silver) tequila is ideal because of its crisp, clean flavor. Reposado tequila can be used for a slightly richer and smoother taste. Avoid aged (añejo) tequila, as it may overpower the blackberry flavors.

Do I have to strain the drink?

Straining is optional. If you like a pulpy texture with bits of blackberries, you can skip the straining step. If you prefer a smoother drink, use a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds and pulp.

Is there a way to make THIS BLACKBERRY MARGARITA spicy?

Yes! Add a few slices of fresh jalapeño or a dash of cayenne pepper to the muddled blackberries for a spicy kick.
