Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces fresh blackberries
- 6 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 2 ounces lime juice
- 1 ounce agave syrup
- 2 ounces silver tequila
- 1 ounce orange liqueur (e.g., Cointreau)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons salt or sugar (for rimming the glass, optional)
- 1 piece lime wedge
- 1 serving blackberries and mint sprigs (for garnish)
Instructions
If rimming your glass, pour the salt or sugar onto a small plate. Run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass, then dip the rim into the salt or sugar until evenly coated. Set the glass aside.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the fresh blackberries and mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the ingredients and release their juices and aromas.
Add the lime juice, agave syrup, silver tequila, and orange liqueur to the shaker.
Fill the shaker with ice cubes and secure the lid tightly.
Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to thoroughly combine and chill the margarita.
Fill your prepared glass with fresh ice (optional) and strain the margarita mixture into the glass using a fine-mesh strainer to remove any pulp or seeds.
Garnish with a sprig of mint and a few whole blackberries for a vibrant presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Blackberry Mint Margarita!
