Ok who doesn't like blackberries? I certainly do and really love the color that they tend to impart when making a good drink. I actually have a co-worker who's really pushing his black and blue margarita, but its lacking. So, in the vein of trying to help a co-worker, here goes.....
My favorite thing about this now is that when you search blackberry on Google, the first page is filled with those PDA looking crack-berry thingies.... I used to have one but always called it a blueberry. Then I was fortunate enough to move to a back-assward hotel and traded in my blackberry for a "pager". For those of you that were born within the last 20 years, click here.
Anyways, I'm getting sidetracked. Blackberries are great and while they are historically linked to superstition they really make a great drink. So here goes....
Fresh Fruit - take at least 7 blackberries, 1/2 of an orange, 1 lime and a "smidge" of stevia.
No sour mix - duh!
For this one, I like Don Julio Platinum. Mainly because I haven't purchased much from a company called Diageo at work, and I thought that I'd give them a small plug so that their sales guy Guido doesn't go by the wayside.... Ok, done with the hyperlinks.... I just figured this damn thing out so went a bit crazy... sorry.
So, muddle the fruit and stevia, add 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of that new cointreau noir (its amazing!), 1 cup of ice and a "bunch" of cilantro. Shake like there's no tomorrow. Now here's the interesting bit. Take a martini glass and rim it with blackberry sugar. IE run a sliced lime around the edge and dip it into a mixture of blackberry juice and sugar. (cannot figure this one out?? smash one black berry, add sugar and dip the lime flavored rim into this mix). When its done, its a dark purple sugared rim.
Next, strain the margarita into the martini glass and boo-yah!
