Fruity Margarita

A mixture of sweet fruits and tangy limes make for a delicious variation on a standard margarita.

Do you guys like margaritas as much as I do? They are perfectly tart, not too sweet and always refreshing. With the warmer weather coming I decided it’s time to whip up some festive cocktails.

You can make this margarita frozen or on the rocks. I prefer on the rocks with a rim of sugar on my glass. This Mixed Berry Margarita is loaded with cherries, blueberries and blackberries.

I love adding fruit to my cocktails. The sweet fruit and the tart lime make the perfect flavor combination. I had to use a mix of fresh and frozen fruit in my margarita because cherries aren’t in season yet.

Tequila, lime juice and simple syrup are also added. I make most of my drinks with simple syrup so I always make extra and store it away in the refrigerator. (Simple syrup is just equal parts sugar and water heated until dissolved.) You can also buy pre-made simple syrup at the liquor store.

Use a wedge of lime to wet the rim of the glass and dip in either sugar or salt.

To make this margarita start by muddling the berries and simple syrup together in your salt or sugar rimmed glass. Top with lime juice and tequila. Stir to combine. Top with ice and fresh berries for garnish, if desired. If the seeds from the blackberries bother you simply strain through a sieve before serving.
