Happy Friday!
Sometimes there really is nothing better than a homemade, fresh-squeezed margarita. This version is a simple mix of fresh lime juice, agave nectar, tequila, triple sec, and muddled blackberries. The berries add just a bit of a sweet fruit flavor, and the result is a refreshing, not-too-sweet margarita in a vibrant purple color.
What's also great about the base of this margarita is any kind of fruit can be added to it. If you don't have blackberries on hand, just sub in strawberries, blueberries, mango, or kiwi, to name a few! They'd all be delicious!
Blackberry Agave Margaritas
- 8 fresh blackberries
- 2 lime wedges
- 1 oz. fresh lime juice
- 0.5-1 oz. light agave nectar (depending on how sweet you like yours)
- 2 oz. silver Tequila
- 0.5 oz. of Cointreau or Triple Sec (optional)

In the bottom of a glass, muddle 5-6 blackberries with 1 of the lime wedges. Fill the glass with ice. Next, fill a cocktail shaker with ice, and add the tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and agave nectar. Shake well, and strain into the glass over the blackberries. Give it a stir, and garnish with the remaining fresh blackberries & lime wedge. Enjoy!
