Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 2 ounces silver (blanco) tequila
- 1 ounce fresh lime juice
- 1 ounce orange liqueur (Triple Sec or Cointreau)
- ¾ ounce agave syrup
- 2 tablespoons blackberry puree
- Ice (crushed or cubed)
- Sea salt for rimming glasses (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Blackberry Puree: Wash about 1 cup of fresh blackberries thoroughly. Place them in a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth. For a smoother texture, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds.
- Mix the Cocktail Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 ounces of silver tequila, 1 ounce of fresh lime juice, 1 ounce of orange liqueur, ¾ ounce of agave syrup, and 2 tablespoons of the blackberry puree. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
- Prepare Your Glasses: Run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass, then dip it into coarse sea salt to create a classic margarita rim. Fill the glass with fresh ice to keep the drink chilled and refreshing.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the cocktail mixture into your prepared glass over ice. Garnish with a few whole blackberries and a lime wheel to complete the presentation.
Notes
- Use fresh lime juice and ripe blackberries for the best flavor.
- Choose a good quality silver (blanco) tequila for a clean, crisp taste.
- Adjust the sweetness gradually by adding agave syrup little by little to suit your palate.
- Shake the cocktail well to chill and dilute it just enough for smoothness.
- Moisten the rim with lime juice before dipping in salt to help it stick and enhance flavor balance.
