Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• ¾ cup sugar
• ⅓ cup blackberries
• ⅓ cup sliced strawberries
• ⅓ cup blueberries
• ¼ cup sugar or salt (for glass rims)
• 2 cups ice (you can eyeball this)
• ½ cup triple berry simple syrup
• ½ cup fresh lime juice
• 1 cup tequila
• Optional Garnishes: Lime slices, fresh berries

Directions

• Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook 4-5 minutes until berries have softened and sugar has dissolved.
• Remove syrup from heat and let it cool completely.
• Strain the simple syrup to remove the berry pieces and set strained simple syrup aside for the margaritas. (I like to save the cooked-down berries for smoothies later in the week!)
• Lay two plates down on the counter. Add just enough water to the first plate to cover its surface. Add your sugar or salt (I like sugar on my cocktail glasses!) to the second plate and spread it out evenly. Grab four cocktail glasses and dip the rim of each glass lightly into the shallow water on the first plate, and then into the sugar or salt on the second plate. Shake off the excess, fill each glass with ¼ cup or so of ice, and set aside.
• Combine triple berry simple syrup, lime juice, and tequila in a cocktail shaker. (Depending on the size of your shaker, you may need to do this in two batches). Add a handful of ice and shake well until margaritas are chilled.
• Divide margaritas evenly between your four cocktail glasses.
• Garnish margaritas with extra lime slices and fresh berries (optional) and serve immediately.
