Ingredients

  • ½ cup fresh blackberries
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice about 2-3 limes
  • 2 tbsp agave nectar OR 2 tbsp sugar + 3 tbsp water omit for skinny
  • 3 ounces tequila about 6 tablespoons
  • 2 ounces orange liqueur ¼ cup
  • 2 cups of ice for serving
  • Salt to rim the glass

Instructions

  • If you don't have agave, first make the simple syrup by adding the sugar and water to a pot on the stove. Let simmer until the sugar is dissolved, then set aside to cool. 
  • Add the blackberries, lime juice, simple syrup or agave, tequila and orange liquor to a blender. 
  • Blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove the blackberry seeds or any bits that didn't blend properly. I like to strain it through twice to make it really smooth. If you want it really cold you can add it to a cocktail shaker and shake it up with ice.
  • Salt the rim of two glasses if desired and pour the margarita over ice. Garnish with fresh lime and enjoy!

Notes

As written, this recipe is average in sweetness. You can make it sweeter by adding more agave, or make it skinny by leaving the agave out entirely. The orange liqueur already adds some sweetness, so it's still delicious without the agave in my opinion!
