This is a perfect spring and summer drink—Blackberry Margarita Smash! Never came across a soul who hated it.

One cup fresh blackberries plus a little extra for garnish.

Ideally reposado for the silky wood taste, 2-Tbsp sugar—more or less depending on taste-4 ounces tequila.

Two ounces of orange liqueur, cointreau or triple sec

Two limes, crushed immediately before use; tasted with crushed ice.

Two lime wheels for garnishes

A few fresh mint leaves, perhaps a handful, to garnish would be great.

Dust each glass with coarse salt or sugar, depending on your taste.

Smash the blackberries and sugar together in a cocktail shaker until the sugar begins to dissolve.

2. Thin the blackberry mix with tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice. Shaker should include crushed ice.

Once the shaker lid is on, give it a thorough shaking for about fifteen seconds, or until it is absolutely cold.

If desired, run around the edge of two glasses with a lime slice and dip them into the coarse salt or sugar set on a plate.

5. Stuff some crushed ice into every rims glass.

Sort the blackberry margarita mixture equally among the ready-made glasses.

Top with extra blackberries, a wheel of lime, and a little fresh mint.

8. Have fun sensibly and serve right away!

Advice and variants

Just substitute carbonated water or lemon-lime soda for the tequila and orange liqueur to create alcohol-free versions.

Try blueberries or raspberries for a great substitute for blackberries.

Either add a piece of jalapeño to the mix or garnish the glass with salt and chili powder to make your tequila more hot.

Blackberries will release much more flavor when mushed after macerating with sugar for one hour.

If you’re hankering for something sweet, add a little simple syrup or agave syrup.

Taste your drink always before adding more or fewer ingredients; balance is really vital. It basically boils down to personal taste; whether acidity or sweetness dominates.

Having fun!
