Tips for the Best Blackberry Margarita
Tips
Adjust the Sweetness: Taste your margarita before serving and adjust the sweetness by adding more simple syrup if needed.
Fresh Ingredients: Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor. Bottled lime juice just doesn’t compare!
Rim Variation: Experiment with different rims like chili powder mixed with salt for a spicy kick or even a mix of sugar and cinnamon for a unique twist.
