Tips for Making the BEST Margaritas

• Chill your glasses ahead of time to help ensure the cocktail remains cool to the very last sip.
• Choose premium liquors for the best results. You don’t need to reach for the top shelf but at least avoid scraping the bottom of the barrel.
• To make sure your cocktail is properly chilled, consider using larger ice cubes. They melt slower and won’t water down your drink as quickly.
• For a stronger blackberry flavour your can muddle blackberries in the cocktail shaker. Make sure you strain the cocktail for a more smooth mouthfeel.

How to Make a Blackberry Margarita Mocktail

If you are serving someone who prefers an alcohol-free drink, this blackberry mocktail is the perfect choice.

To make it a mocktail, simply replace the tequila with club soda, the grand marnier with orange juice, and the blackberry liqueur with more blackberry syrup.

This is a great way to adjust the recipe for kids to enjoy too!

About the Ingredients for Spicy Blackberry Margarita

Tajin – Tajin is a spice mixture made with dried chile peppers, dehydrated lime, and sea salt.

Tequila – I used Jose Cuervo “Gold” tequila but any blanco or resposado tequilas will work well in a Margarita.

Blackberry liqueur – Also called crème de mûre.

Grand Marnier – Grand Marnier is a good choice here but you could opt for any orange flavoured liqueur.

Spicy Margarita mix – Any spicy margarita mix that you like will work.

Blackberry syrup – I used Torani blackberry syrup, but use any brand you like or make your own blackberry syrup.
