Blackberry Margarita Recipe - Chisel & Fork (2024)

This blackberry margarita is a fruity and unique version of a classic margarita that are perfect for any party.

I'm all about fruit co*cktails - from a strawberry gin smash to a mango mojito to a passion fruit margarita. And this blackberry margarita is my latest concoction.

Everyone has had a traditional margarita, which consists of tequila, lime juice and simple syrup. It is one of those drinks that is super easy to make and very refreshing.

But why not add a twist to it? With blackberries season just around the corner, I thought it appropriate to share one of my favorites.

And instead of a simple syrup, I decided to use fresh honey as it is just one less step! But you can of course make simple syrup as well.

I prefer my margaritas on the rocks, but you are welcome to make a frozen version if you prefer. So if you love margaritas, but want to take advantage of some fresh fruit, I suggest giving this one a try.

Recipe Ingredients

• Tequila - silver is best.
• Limes - you want fresh lime juice.
• Oranges - same as limes, you want fresh orange juice.
• Triple sec - an orange liquor that complements the blackberries.
• Honey - can use sugar or create a simple syrup.
• Blackberries - fresh is best but you can use frozen.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Combine the alcohol, juices, honey and 1 ½ cups blackberries in a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Strain the mixture over a pitcher to discard the solids.
2. Rub edges of glass with a lime and dip in either some sugar or salt or a combination.
3. Serve the margarita in glass over ice and garnish with lime and remaining blackberries.
