It’s the perfect time of year for delicious and refreshing drinks, so I was excited to try these Blackberry Margaritas from Pioneer Woman. They didn’t disappoint. Here’s how they came together:
First, I mixed blackberries and blueberries together with sugar and lime juice in a saucepan. I thought I had enough blackberries in the freezer, but I didn’t, so I made up the difference with blueberries. Let’s just call this batch Mixed Berry Margaritas. Once that mixture simmered until it was good and thick, I put it into the fridge to chill for a few hours. When I was ready to mix the drinks, I pureed the berry mixture with ice, tequila, triple sec, and lime juice. I also added a little bit more sugar to get it sweet enough for my taste.
These were good. Next time I’ll make sure I have enough blackberries because I think they would be better with just the one berry so the flavor really comes through. Also, I’ll make sure to strain the puree so all of the seeds are removed – just a minor annoyance that can be easily remedied. A great summer drink!
