Ingredients Needed

Blackberries – Fresh blackberries that are bright and plump are key. You will find this berry is a sweet and tart flavor.

Agave – The sweetener I used is agave nectar. This is going to help balance out the tart of the drink.

Pomegranate Blueberry Juice – I wanted to use the pomegranate and blueberry juice for a nice sweet splash. Pomegranate is a very distinct flavor so I hope you enjoy the pairing.

Triple Sec – Triple Sec offers a nice orange citrus flavor. You will find it is going to help balance out since the acidic.

Tequila – I used Blanco Tequila but you are welcome to reach for any brand of tequila for this drink.

Lime – You will want fresh lime juice and lime wedges for the drink. You will use a lime wedge to rub around the glass to help the salt stick.

Salt – Reach for the coarse salt that you will use for making margaritas. You can buy this in the cocktail aisle in the grocery store.

Sparkling Water – Blackberry sparkling water is going to add a nice bubbly and fizzy component to the drink.

Mint And Rosemary – These two herbs are great for garnishing and flavoring the margarita.

Variations

  • Use honey instead of agave for sweetening. Or even maple syrup can be used.
  • Grab a blender and blend up the drink to make a frozen margarita.
  • If you don’t want seeds you can run the drink through a fine mesh sieve.
  • Muddle some cucumbers with the blackberries for a twist in flavor.
  • Use a raspberry or even strawberry juice instead of the pomegranate.
  • Add other berries into the recipe for added berry flavor. Just muddle all the berries at the same time.
  • If you want a spicy margarita add in some jalapeno and muddle with the berries for a bit of spice.

Tips For Success

Ripe Fruit

Make sure that you pick fresh and ripe berries to help elevate the flavor of the drink. Otherwise, you will find it can lack a bit of flavor.

Muddle

Make sure to muddle your fruit as it is going to release the sweetness of the fruit. Don’t overmash though or it can become bitter.

Chill Glass

Feel free to chill your glass in the freezer. This is going to give your drink that icy chilled temperature and really elevate the flavor tremendously.

Rim Glass

I love rimming the glass with salt, but if you want you can always use coarse sugar so it is going to give the margarita a sweeter flavor.

Mix Well

Make sure to mix the drink well. You can add it into a shaker or you can whisk it up. You need all the flavors to be blended well.

Lemon Lime Soda

If you don’t want to use sparkling water you can easily use a lemon-lime soda or even ginger ale. This is going to add a nice bubble texture to the drink.

Appetizers and Desserts To Pair With Cocktail

Here are a few of my favorite recipes to consider pairing next to your cocktail. Give this mummy jalapeno popper as a savory appetizer to nibble on as you sip this sweet cocktail. Or whip up these ghost truffles for a sweet treat to give that spooky vibe to your cocktail.

For another boozy option consider trying to whip up these ghost jello shots. These are loaded with booze and will ramp up a party in minutes.

FAQs

What type of tequila is best for blackberry margaritas?

Silver or Blanco tequila is the two types of tequila I would recommend for making this margarita. Both are very clean and fresh flavors that are not going to overtake other flavors in the drink.

Can I use frozen blackberries instead of fresh ones?

Go right ahead and use frozen berries if you want. Just make sure that you still muddle the berries straight from being frozen if you want. This is going to ensure it releases the blackberry flavor in the cocktail.

What can I use as a substitute for agave nectar?

Maple syrup, simple syrup, or even honey are all great swaps for the sweetener. Now if you want a sugar-free option use a sugar-free sweetener of choice.

Can I make a non-alcoholic version of the Sanderson Sisters margarita?

Swap the tequila out for juice or opt to add in lemon-lime soda or ginger ale. Both will work great for adding a nice flavor to the drink without the alcohol.
