The Blackberry Margarita Smash is a delightful twist on the classic margarita, combining the tartness of blackberries with the refreshing flavors of lime and tequila. This cocktail is perfect for summer gatherings or any time you want a fruity, vibrant drink.
Ingredients
1 cup (150 grams) fresh blackberries
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup (120 ml) tequila
1/4 cup (60 ml) lime juice (freshly squeezed)
2 tbsp triple sec
Ice cubes
Lime slices and additional blackberries for garnish
Salt or sugar for rimming the glasses
Directions
1. In a small bowl, muddle the blackberries with the sugar until the berries are broken down and the sugar is mostly dissolved.
2. Strain the blackberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
3. To the pitcher, add the tequila, lime juice, and triple sec. Stir well to combine.
4. Prepare your serving glasses by running a lime slice around the rim and then dipping the rim into a plate of salt or sugar, depending on your preference.
5. Fill the glasses with ice cubes and pour the blackberry margarita mixture over the ice. Garnish with lime slices and additional blackberries.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing blend of sweet blackberries and tangy lime.
