Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh blackberries
- 6 ounces Silver tequila
- 4 ounces Freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 ounces Triple sec or orange liqueur
- 1.5 ounces Simple syrup (or agave nectar)
- 3 cups Ice cubes
- 2 for garnish Lime wedges
- 4 for garnish Blackberries
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for rimming glasses) Coarse salt or sugar
Instructions
If rimming the glasses, rub a lime wedge along the rims of two margarita glasses. Dip the rims into a plate with coarse salt or sugar to coat. Set aside.
Add the fresh blackberries to a cocktail shaker or blender. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, muddle the blackberries until they are roughly pureed.
Add the silver tequila, freshly squeezed lime juice, triple sec, and simple syrup to the shaker or blender with the muddled blackberries.
Fill the shaker or blender with 2 cups of ice cubes. If using a shaker, shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds. If using a blender, blend until smooth.
Strain the margarita mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the prepared glasses to remove blackberry seeds. Alternatively, if blending, you can pour directly into the glasses if you don’t mind the seeds.
Add fresh ice cubes to each glass if needed. Garnish with a lime wedge and a fresh blackberry on the rim.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade blackberry margaritas!
