If you're a fan of margaritas, you will love this one. It is not overly sweet and so delicious with the flavor of blackberries and lemons. Double the recipe to make 4 drinks.
Blackberry Puree
1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries
1 to 2 T granulated sugar
Margaritas
2 lemons
¼ cup Blackberry Puree
4 oz lemonade (I used Simply Lemonade)
4 oz silver tequila
Process blackberries in a blender until smooth.
Place a wire mesh strainer over a bowl and pour the blackberry puree into the strainer. Gently press it through the strainer with a wooden spoon.
Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of sugar to the puree and stir to combine.
Cover and refrigerate until ready to make your margaritas.
Place some sea salt on a plate and add the zest of ½ lemon.
Cut the other half of lemon into a wedge and run the cut side around the rim of your glasses.
Dip the moistened rim into the salt and lemon zest mixture.
Fill glasses with ice and freeze until ready to serve.
Fill a cocktail shaker or small pitcher ½ full with ice.
Add the ¼ cup of Blackberry Puree, 4 oz lemonade, 4 oz tequila, and juice of ½ lemon.
Shake or stir vigorously and strain into the two prepared glasses.
Garnish with a slice of lemon and a blackberry before serving.Makes 2 margaritas
