Tequila, orange liqueur, fresh lime juice, and blackberry purée combine to make refreshing margaritas perfect for a festive summer's night!
BLACKBERRY PURÉE:
6
ounces blackberries
1
tablespoon sugar
1
tablespoon water
COCKTAILS:
Blackberry purée
9
ounces lime juice
9
ounces water
1/2
cup sugar
3
ounces orange liqueur
6
ounces tequila
Lime wedges, for garnish
To make the purée, add berries, sugar, and water to a blender or food processor and purée for 1 minute. Combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan and heat until sugar is dissolved completely. Add purée, simple syrup, lime juice, orange liqueur, and tequila in a small pitcher or carafe. Stir well to combine, and serve over ice with a wedge of lime. I usually don’t rim my glass, if I do I usually go with sugar instead of salt.
