Easy Blackberry Margarita Recipe

The margarita was “invented” sometime in the early 20th century. Depending on whose account you read it was either the “Daisy” co*cktail updated with tequila instead of the brandy the Daisy called for, or invented in the 30s in Mexico or California. While we will never know for certain who to thank for the creation of the ever-popular margarita, we do know that people have been constructing alternative creations to those early margaritas ever since it was invented!

Mmmm blackberries + margarita = two of my favorite things! (Click here to learn how to grow blackberry bushes!) Who else loves the slightly sweet, slightly tart taste of fresh blackberries? Paired with the slightly sweet, slightly tart taste of tequila? Oh my, is this one tasty blackberry margarita co*cktail recipe.

Tips and variations for making this Easy Blackberry Margarita Recipe:

● You make this margarita recipe using a blender so this is a frozen blackberry margarita as opposed to over the rocks. While I give the recipe directions for the frozen version, you can definitely skip the blending though, and make this blackberry margarita as an over-the-rocks co*cktail. Over the rocks means a mixed co*cktail over ice cubes. You place the fresh ice cubes in your co*cktail glass and then place the tequila, Chambord, and lime juice into a co*cktail shaker. Pour over a fine-mesh strainer over the ice in the glass. Garnish with fresh blackberries and sliced fresh limes.

● It is also easy enough to double, triple, quadruple the recipe for parties and get-together with friends. The Chambord is a berry, berry good second liquor. And speaking of which… while I have not tried it, substituting raspberries for blackberries should work very well.

● There is a salted rim on the glass of this blackberry co*cktail. The wet used is either the tequila or the Chambord, the dry used is corse salt. If you are unsure how to rim a glass, click here for easy directions on how to rim a co*cktail glass.

● Even though this recipe contains fresh fruit, I would not call it a healthy margarita. It is not a skinny margarita either (which to me do not taste very good).

Are you ready to make the best blackberry margarita recipe in the world? Homemade margarita recipes are everybody’s favorite drink!. Based on a classic margarita recipe, this frozen blackberry margarita uses fresh berries, a salted rim, good tequila, lime juice, and Chambord to make one of my favorite recipes, which I hope becomes your new favorite, too. Remember that you can tweet and add your favorite berry, lime zest, fresh lime slices, to go with the tequila and make your own version of one of the best drinks out there. Yum!

Whether you plan on sipping a libation on your outdoor patio this weekend, would like a terrific new co*cktail for Cinco de mayo or national margarita day, or just want to drink a good margarita, give this great tasting recipe a try.

FAQs

What is the secret ingredient in Margaritas? ›

We'll just tell you upfront: The secret to a tasty margarita is freshly squeezed lime juice (not the bottled stuff) and—here's the real secret—a splash of fresh OJ. That's right. Fresh-squeezed juice from an actual orange (not an orange-flavored liqueur) will produce a cleaner-tasting, more refreshing margarita.

Is Cointreau or triple sec better for Margaritas? ›

The classic margarita calls for Cointreau (plus good silver tequila and fresh lime juice). Because its flavor is uncomplicated by spice notes, Cointreau is very adaptable in blending, and shakes up beautifully with clear spirits as well as with brandies, and darker, aged liquors.

Why do you put triple sec in Margaritas? ›

Traditionally, orange has always been a classic pairing for any agave-based spirit, providing a sweeter complement without overpowering the notes of the agave. In Margaritas, the inclusion of triple sec provides a luscious, warm citric note that counterbalances the lime juice's high acidity.

What can I add to my margarita mix to make it better? ›

Adding fruit like mango can add a lot more flavor to your margaritas. While a classic margarita with lime is certainly tasty, adding other fruits can kick your drinks up a notch. Simply blend diced mango chunks along with the rest of your margarita ingredients, then pour into a glass of ice.

Why is it called a dirty margarita? ›

The dirty margarita takes its inspiration from the dirty martini, a classic libation made with strong liquor and a splash of a little something not-so-clear. We swap olive juice for jalapeno brine, making this a drink that packs the heat–and a punch.

What is in a skinny girl margarita? ›

Made from premium Blue Agave Silver Tequila (yes, please) and lightly sweetened with agave nectar, the original Skinnygirl® Margarita is STILL delicious and low-calorie (really?). Yes, really. Serve this refreshingly light low-calorie Margarita in a fun glass rimmed with salt, and you and your girls are good to go!

Is agave syrup necessary for a margarita? ›

If you like your margaritas dry, you can just skip this step. But if you're like me and want your margaritas sweet, Stodel said you should always use agave syrup. "It's an excellent sweetener for your margaritas, a natural product," he told me. "It comes from the thing that makes tequila, so I think it's awesome."

Can I use Grand Marnier instead of Cointreau in a margarita? ›

Cointreau and Grand Marnier have quite a bit in common, and in a pinch you can certainly substitute between the two. If you do, expect the flavor profile to change. Cointreau will make the drink lighter and brighter, with a stronger citrus aroma. Grand Marnier will bring weight and oaky sweetness.

Is Grand Marnier the same as Cointreau? ›

Cointreau is a type of triple sec, whereas Grand Marnier is triple sec combined with cognac. Both are classified as orange liqueurs in the United States. Both have 40% alcohol by volume. Cointreau is unaged, while Grand Marnier contains barrel-aged cognac.

What is the formula for a margarita? ›

4 parts tequila (look for 100% blue agave tequila — blanco, silver, or reposado) 3 parts Cointreau (or your preferred orange liqueur) 2 parts fresh lime juice.

Do you lick the salt before or after margarita? ›

Lick the salt off the rim as you drink your blended drink.

Even if you are using a straw, you can still grab a mouthful of salt before each sip. Lift your drink up to you and lick the rim, then use the straw to sip your margarita.

What can you use in a margarita if you don t have triple sec? ›

If you don't have triple sec handy, you can substitute with another good-quality orange liqueur like Grand Marnier or Cointreau. For a non-alcoholic substitute you can add fresh orange juice, or agave nectar/simple syrup, to add a touch of sweetness.

What margarita mix do most restaurants use? ›
