The Margarita is a traditional drink with a history as intricate as its recipe. Some say it was created in the early 1900s by a Mexican restaurant for an aspiring actress; others say it’s just a variation on a Daisy cocktail from the Prohibition era that uses tequila instead of brandy. Various theories abound regarding its origins. Whatever its roots may be, the Margarita has become a global phenomenon, with many variants serving as a window into other cultures’ cuisines and cultures’ culinary traditions. Today, we’re bringing a touch of summer to this classic drink by adding blackberries to the mix, creating a Blackberry Margarita Smash. Those in search of a drink that combines the acidic zest of lime with the sweet and tart flavors of ripe blackberries and the warmth of tequila will find it in this recipe. It’s the perfect recipe for relaxing or hosting guests because it’s both refreshing and indulgent.
Light nibbles or appetizers that won’t overpower the vivid flavors of the Blackberry Margarita Smash are the perfect complement. For a pleasant contrast, try serving the drink with shrimp tacos or fresh ceviche. To temper the acidity, try serving the drink with salty almonds or a selection of cheeses. As a palette refresher in between bites, serve with a zesty dip and an abundance of crisp, fresh veggies.
