Blackberry Margarita
Nothing is more fun during the summer months than hanging out with friends and family, especially in my neck of the woods. Winters are cold, icy, and treacherous where I live, so there’s not a lot of, “Hey. Want to meet up later?” It’s more, “Good God, I went to the grocery store and almost froze to death.”
Blackberry Margarita Recipe
That’s what makes the summer my favorite season. It’s all about family friends, and cool refreshing drinks like this blackberry margarita cocktail. It’s the perfect mix of sweetness and kicks to cool you off and loosen you up for all the fun you know you’re going to have with all your loved ones. This margarita recipe is truly one to talk about!
I mean just look at that. If this blackberry margarita cocktail doesn’t say summer fun, I don’t know what does. Even the color is summer. It’s the color of flowers, and it has a fruity refreshing taste that I just love.
Don’t worry about missing out on the fun when preparing this delicious cocktail. Although it requires a simple syrup, that’s as difficult as it gets. And making the simple syrup is, well, simple. 😉 It really only takes a few minutes to whip these up, and they’re always a crowd pleaser when I bring them out.
