Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz tequila
  • 1 oz grand marnier
  • 1 oz lime juice
  • 1 oz blackberry simple syrup (equal parts water, sugar, blackberries)
  • 5 jalapeño slices (about 1/4 of jalapeño pepper)

How to Make Our Blackberry Jalapeño Margarita

For the Blackberry Simple Syrup

  • In a small saucepan, combine equal parts water, sugar, and blackberries. (I typically use 1 cup of each and save the remaining syrup for later)
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, smashing the blackberries as it heats up. Once boiling, turn the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer, let it cool, and refrigerate until ready to use.

For the Blackberry Jalapeño Margarita

  • In a shaker tin or mason jar, add the jalapeño slices and lime juice and muddle. Then, pour in the tequila, Grand Marnier, and blackberry simple syrup. Fill the tin or jar up with ice, seal the shaker, and shake until the tin is freezing, about 10-20 seconds.
  • Dip the rim of a fresh glass in lime juice, then dip in your choice of salt, tajin, or sugar. Fill the rimmed glass with ice and strain the margarita into the glass. Garnish with more jalapaño slices, lime wheel, and blackberries

Tools You’ll Need

Shaker Tin– having a shaker tin on hand makes whipping up fun cocktails so easy! Don’t worry, if you don’t have one, you can use a mason jar with a sealable lid.

Jigger – to measure out the ingredients.

Small saucepan – to make the blackberry simple syrup.

Tips and Variations

Simple Syrup – Making your own simple syrup is so simple, cheaper, and tastier than store-bought. I highly recommend making your own. Try making different flavors with different berries!

Mocktail – Make this yummy drink a mocktail using this recipe:

  • 2 oz lime juice
  • 1/4 jalapeño, sliced
  • 2 oz orange juice
  • 1 oz blackberry simple syrup
  • soda water, optional

Muddle the lime juice with the jalapeño slices, add the orange juice and blackberry simple syrup, and shake with ice—strain into a glass with fresh ice and top with soda water!

Storage – Store the blackberry simple syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
