We have been having fun this summer branching out from our usual cocktails. I am not usually partial to a frozen margarita, but this slushy one was tasty and had such amazing color! Perfect for a summer night. This recipe was adapted from the New York Times. We made them a little sweeter (using agave nectar) and less potent. Great!
Yield: Makes 1 large or 2 small drinks
- 6 large blackberries, plus 1 to garnish each drink
- 1 1/2 ounces tequila
- 1 ounce Grand Marnier
- 2 T lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 2 T agave nectar or simple syrup
- 1 1/2 cups ice
- mixture of coarse salt and sugar for glass rims
- lime wheels, optional
- Blend all of the ingredients (except garnish: salt, sugar, lime wheels) until smooth and frosty.
- Run a lime wedge along rims of margarita glasses and dip into salt-sugar mixture.
- Pour the blended drink, garnish with blackberries and lime wheels, if desired.

Yum…I haven’t had alcohol since June so that’s calling my name…well, I’d probably even go for a shot of tequila followed by a blackberry chaser 🙂
This concoction would probably ease you back more smoothly 🙂
Awesome. We love margaritas here:)
Definitely a favorite over here too! 🙂

I’m going to try this ASAP. Our neighbor has a huge blackberry patch. There was only one part of the recipe I didn’t understand… What is a ‘small drink’? =-D
🙂 I am on my way to go blackberry picking right now! I’ll have to make one later- the large portion…. 🙂
