Time to party! A few days ago I posted the Roasted Serrano Infused Tequila “experiment” and if you started it then, your Roasted Serrano Infused Tequila should be ready to consume. If not, get that project started so you can enjoy this unique, lip smacking cocktail this weekend! A little spice with some juicy berry and this is a real change up from the usual margarita!
Roasted Serrano Blackberry Margaritas
Makes 4 generous cocktails
Ingredients:
2 cup fresh blackberries (4 oz juice)
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (4 oz)
2 ounce simple syrup
2/3 cup Roasted Serrano Infused Tequila (5 oz)
2 ounces Patron Citronge (or Grand Marnier)
3 ounces Chambord or other blackberry liqueur
4 cups cracked ice
Additional lime wedges (for garnish and rim)
Kosher salt or flaky sea salt (for rim)
Directions:
Strain blackberries through a fine sieve to remove seeds. Use a wooden mallet to mash the berries against the strainer, making sure to press through every bit of blackberry goodness. Add lime juice and simple syrup to blackberry juice and chill. This can be done up to 6 hours in advance.
Combine the blackberry-lime puree and all remaining ingredients in a shaker can and shake until chilled. If making in advance, combine all ingredients and chill until ready to serve. This helps get a jump on the party!
Spread out a layer of kosher salt (about a tablespoon) onto a small plate. Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of a short tumbler. Place the lime soaked rim into the salt. Move the glass around in the salt until the rim is evenly coated.
Fill the glass with crushed ice and pour the chilled margarita into the glass. Serve immediately.
