Roasted Jalapeno Blackberry Margarita
Adapted from Barrio Star.
Servings 1 drink
Ingredients
- 8 blackberries
- 1 oz./ 1 shot roasted jalapeno infused tequila
- 1 oz./ 1 shot orange liqueur (Cointreau or Triple Sec)
- 1 oz./ 1 shot simple syrup (or to taste)
- 1 lime
- Crushed ice
- Soda water
- Additional lime wedges, for garnish and rim
- Kosher salt or flaky sea salt, for rim
Instructions
- Place the blackberries in a cocktail shaker. Using a muddler or wooden spoon, thoroughly mash up the blackberries. Add the tequila, orange liqueur, simple syrup and juice of 1 lime. Add crushed ice and shake until chilled.
- 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 strain the margarita into the glass.* Top with a little soda water and gently stir to combine.
Notes
* I found that the blackberry seeds easily clogged the mouth of my shaker. To remedy the situation, I strained the drink into a larger measuring cup using a fine mesh basket strainer. This also allowed me to pour the drink into the glass without disturbing the salted rim.
