Limes are the margarita fruit of choice. Classics are classics, but Delish like to twist the margarita for the season or occasion.
A trendy summer tequila beverage is the blackberry margarita. Most of the U.S. has juicy fresh blackberries in July and August with a sweet, tart, and acidic flavor.
this cocktail, we wanted more than crushed berries, unlike our two mojitos. How can I get all the fresh berry flavor in a margarita? A blackberry syrup.
Cooled fresh syrup is gently sweet so sugar doesn't overshadow fruit flavor. (You can double the juice for a blackberry-forward drink.
Classic margarita ingredients:Our blackberry margarita features blanco tequila and fresh lime juice, like all great ones. We add Cointreau, but not too much, to avoid sweetness.
To compliment the drink's flavors, we mix sugar, salt, and fresh lime zest on the glass rim instead of dipping it in salt.
