This little cute cocktail inspo was from the 11/21/23 episode of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City! The event got a little dicey, as ALL Housewife events are, but this drink was a winner!!
A spicy blackberry margarita? What in the HELL does NOT sound good about that?
These measurements can be altered to your liking, and will make approximately two cocktails. No rules!! You can do on the rocks version in a tumbler, or without in a coupe or margarita glass. No certain glass is required! If you know, you know!
2- 4 ounces of clear tequila (or more, don’t operate heavy machinery, drink responsibly…)
2 ounces Grand Marnier Liqueur or other orange flavored liqueur. (you should be able to get the mini-bottles at your liquor store, or this can be omitted
1 cup Simply Limeade juice
2 ounces blackberry simple syrup (bring equal amounts of sugar, water, and 3-4 blackberries to a boil, and cool)
Approx 9/10 fresh blackberries – 3 -4 for the simple syrup, and rest for garnish
1 jalapeno pepper (this can be omitted if you don’t like the hotness)
juice from 1 fresh lime
ice
kosher or margarita salt for rims (can be omitted, or you can do sugar)
Cut 3 or 4 slices of the pepper and muddle in a small glass to release flavor and heat. Cut few more slices for garnish.
Add all ingredients, with exception of salt to cocktail shaker, and shake!
Rub a lime wedge on glass and dip in sugar or salt.
Pour over ice into a tumbler style glass, or for a more bougee effect, pour into a coupe, martini or margarita glass without ice.
It should be a pretty pink color from the blackberries in the simple syrup! Garnish with blackberries and a jalapeno slice!
Party like the Salt Lake City ladies !!
