Blackberry Margarita

Fresh Blackberry Margarita

I’m becoming my mother. I am.

A little light bulb will flash in my brain when my behavior mirrors my mother’s, and I’m quite pleased by it. Besides her good looks and fun personality :), I’ve developed her same food and drink snobbery – errr, refinement!

Blackberry Margarita

Margaritas for two, please!

Mom will go out for a meal, and there is no question if it was a good experience or if she wishes she would have stayed home and cooked it herself! You can immediately see it in her expression.

See, she’s a really good cook. My mom is the kind of cook that reinvents gourmet meals from three days worth of leftovers (I’m not there yet, but it’s something I look forward to!), so when she steps out of her own kitchen, she wants to to be treated to some good tasting food. Can you blame her?

Blackberry Margarita

Make your own margarita to get your money’s worth!

Yep, that’s who I have become too, a food and drink critic!

Lately, I’ve been so disappointed when I go out and buy an alcoholic beverage that tastes like kool-aid! . I absolutely detest spending $10-$15 on a drink that leaves me craving the water more then the drink! That has been my luck with margaritas. I mostly get what tastes like watered down sour tasting margarita mix. Bleh!

Fast forward to Fresh Blackberry Margaritas! Yum-Yum-Yum!!

This freshly made margarita takes a couple of extra minutes to strain the seeds from the berries, but the flavor is delicious and worth the extra step.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 large limes, juiced
  • 1/2 cup simple syrup (1/2 cup water & 1/4 cup sugar or xylitol on medium heat until sugar dissolves. Cool)
  • 1/2 cup blanco tequila (100% Agave)
  • 3 ounces orange liqueur (Grand Marnier, Cointreau, or Triple Sec)
  • 1 container fresh blackberries, about 6 ounces

Instructions

Blackberry Margarita

You can purchase simple syrup, but why would you, it’s so simple to make 😉

Blackberry Margarita

Refreshing and tastes like an adult beverage, not kool-aid!

Step away from the yellow/green margarita mix, and treat yourself to a good tasting margarita. Fresh blackberries are full of antioxidants!

      Thanks, Heather! My photos mysteriously disappeared when I tried to download them, so I had to redo another margarita/photo session (such a shame…slurp 😉 ), So it makes me super happy that my efforts are being shared!

      Lucky to have homegrown blackberries! Every time I buy some, I appreciate the patience it takes to pick every berry. Hope you enjoy the margarita!

    There was way too much lime juice for me, I’ll have to adjust.
