Description

This Blackberries and Cream Margarita is a luscious twist on the classic margarita, blending fresh blackberries, creamy coconut cream, and zesty lime juice for a vibrant and indulgent cocktail. Perfect for a refreshing single serving, it combines the sweetness of fruit with the boldness of tequila and orange liqueur, finished with a sugar-rimmed glass for extra flair.

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Add Ice to Glass: Fill the prepared cocktail glass with fresh ice cubes to keep the drink cold and refreshing when served.
  6. Strain Cocktail: Using a strainer, pour the mixed margarita from the shaker into the glass, ensuring a well-mixed drink without muddled fruit chunks.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the cocktail with the remaining blackberries for a visually appealing finish and an extra burst of blackberry flavor.
  8. Enjoy: Sip and enjoy your refreshing Blackberries and Cream Margarita, perfect for any occasion.

Notes

  • Use good quality tequila and orange liqueur for a more authentic and flavorful cocktail.
  • The sugar rim adds sweetness and texture but can be skipped or replaced with salt for variation.
