Blackberry Margarita

Serve this delicious Blackberry Margarita at your summer parties for a fruity, refreshing cocktail bursting with flavor. Blackberry Margaritas are sure to delight your guests. They will keep coming back for more. This is especially true when they experience the unique twist of Blackberry Margaritas with their sweet blackberry taste.

Warm weather is the perfect time to indulge in this easy summer drink that requires minimal ingredients. Fresh or frozen blackberries join with lime juice, tequila, water, and sugar for a quick blend to achieve fruity goodness. It’s also an easy cocktail to make in batch form for parties. You can whip it up in about two minutes, making it a quick and no-fuss beverage for entertaining. It can even be made alcohol-free for a fun blended drink for the kids!

This sweet cocktail is a favorite to make. Fresh blackberries are readily available during the summer months. You’ll love their deep sweetness and underlying tart flavor. Don’t worry about the seeds that are often an issue with blackberries because you’ll be blending them up! Frozen blackberries are great, too, especially for icy drinks like Blackberry Margaritas.

Ingredients Needed

Silver Tequila – the classic liquor for margaritas. Use silver or Blanco tequila.
Water – to help liquefy the blackberries and other ingredients.
Blackberries – use either fresh or frozen.
Sugar – to add just a touch of sweetness.
Lime Juice – fresh is best, but bottled works, too.
Ice – a handful for each glass.
Garnishes – extra sugar, lime slices, and fresh blackberries.

How To Make A Blackberry Margarita

Combine water, tequila, lime juice, blackberries, and sugar in a blender. Blend until smooth and enjoy your Blackberry Margaritas.
Rim glass with sugar and pour the margarita mixture over ice.
Garnish the glass with lime slices and fresh blackberries.

Best Tequila To Use

Tequila, which is commonly used to make margaritas, pairs beautifully with fruity mixed drinks. You typically want to use silver (or blanco) tequila for margaritas.

Variations

• Fruit: You can substitute fresh or frozen blackberries for any other berry in your Blackberry Margaritas. Try it with raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, or even mixed berries!
• Slushie: To create a frosty slushie drink, add crushed ice into the blender with the other ingredients and serve immediately.

Do I Need To Rim The Glass?

You don’t need to, but you certainly can. Make this drink irresistible by rimming your cocktail glass with sugar. Not only does it look extra festive, but it adds even more sweetness to every sip. Not a fan of overly sweet drinks? Rim it with margarita salt, instead.

Garnishes

I like to garnish with extra blackberries and a slice of lime. You can also use fresh mint leaves or a sprig of fresh rosemary.

Can I Make This Into A Mocktail?

Yes. You can leave out all the alcohol. Blend the blackberries, tequila, lime juice, water, and sugar in your blender. This will create Blackberry Margaritas without alcohol. Pour over ice and serve.

Can I Make This In Batch Form?

Yes. Just multiply each ingredient by how many you’ll be serving. Depending on your serving size, you may need to blend in batches so your blender doesn’t overload. Pour the mixture into a larger pitcher or two and refrigerate until ready to serve. Rim your glasses before adding ice and serving.

Storage

This margarita is best if made and enjoyed immediately. If you prepare it ahead of time, keep the blended liquid in the refrigerator. Serve it over ice when it’s ready.
