Ingredients to Make the Blackberry Margarita Recipe
This easy Blackberry Margarita recipe spices up your Margarita, and all you need is four ingredients!
What you’ll need for one Blackberry Margarita serving:
- ¼ cup fresh blackberries

- 1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice (about 1 lime)

30ml=1oz
How to Select the Blackberry Margarita Mix
- Tequila*: You can use either Blanco or Reposado tequila, as long as it’s made entirely from agave.
- Orange liqueur: When it comes to orange liqueur, triple sec is a great budget-friendly option, but if you like top-shelf, Grand Marnier or Cointreau are superb choices.
- Simple syrup: If you want your margaritas a little sweeter, add a tiny little bit of simple syrup. If you like a tart Margarita, the blackberries may suffice as a sweetener.
* Reposado tequila is aged in oak barrels for two to twelve months, giving it a rich, nuanced flavor, whereas Blanco tequila, sometimes known as silver tequila, is not aged, thus crisp with a natural agave flavor.

Tips For Making The Best Blackberry Margarita Cocktail
Here are some must-have tips for making a delicious Blackberry Margarita:
- To make a good margarita, you need limes that have some give when they’re pressed. Do not go for hard, dried out limes.
- Roll the lime against the countertop to help release its juice before juicing it.
- A cold margarita is the only way to go. This is why using two hands when shaking it is important. And this helps you make the perfect cocktail every time.
- If simple syrup isn’t available, agave nectar will work too.
- If you are not in the mood for something too sweet, you might be able to get away without adding any sugar. Just make it up with water or alcohol and if it’s not sweet enough for you, add more.
