By á-25138

Tequila, orange liqueur, fresh lime juice, and blackberry purée combine to make refreshing margaritas perfect for a festive summer's night!

Ingredients

• 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

Preparation

Step 1

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.
