Not a fan of blackberries or just can’t find any fresh ones? Swap blueberries instead!
You love the idea of a blackberry margarita, but don’t do spicy…that’s okay, just omit the jalapeños!
You don’t have a cocktail shaker…no worries, just mix everything in a large measuring cup or. a large glass and use a fine mesh strainer instead. (if you don’t mind bits of blackberry seeds, you don’t even have to strain it.)
If you don’t love a salted rim, simply swap it for sugar instead.
If you don’t have access to crushed ice, just use cubes or crush it yourself in a food processor.
This spicy blackberry margarita is so tasty and fresh y’all. It’s so perfect for pairing with summer dinners or for sitting by the pool with family and friends. You are going to love how easy it is to prepare and just how delicious this cocktail tastes.
