Ingredients
Scale
Liquids
- 2 oz Tequila
- 1 oz Orange Liqueur (Cointreau or Triple Sec)
- 1 oz Lime Juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 oz Coconut Cream
Fruits and Garnish
- 8–10 Fresh Blackberries
- 1 Lime Wedge
Others
- 1 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar
- Ice (for shaking and serving)
Instructions
- Muddle Blackberries and Lime Juice: Add 5-6 fresh blackberries and the freshly squeezed lime juice into a cocktail shaker. Gently muddle them until the blackberries are fully mashed and have released their juices, which helps infuse the cocktail with vibrant flavor.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Pour in the tequila, orange liqueur, coconut cream, and add ice cubes to the shaker. The ice will help chill the cocktail and slightly dilute it for balance.
- Shake Ingredients: Secure the shaker’s lid and shake vigorously for at least 20 seconds to thoroughly mix and chill the ingredients, creating a smooth and creamy cocktail base.
- Prepare Glass Rim: Take a lime wedge and rub it around the rim of your cocktail glass. Then, dip the rim into granulated sugar to create a sweet, textured coating that complements the drink’s flavors.
- Add Ice to Glass: Fill the prepared cocktail glass with fresh ice cubes to keep the drink cold and refreshing when served.
- Strain Cocktail: Using a strainer, pour the mixed margarita from the shaker into the glass, ensuring a well-mixed drink without muddled fruit chunks.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the cocktail with the remaining blackberries for a visually appealing finish and an extra burst of blackberry flavor.
- Enjoy: Sip and enjoy your refreshing Blackberries and Cream Margarita, perfect for any occasion.
