Mixed Berry Margarita
Every January when we go back to Mexico, we like to return to our favorite spots and restaurants. Some of them are casual while others are upscale. Among them, there’s a cute restaurant that is quite popular with the tourists. They serve amazing dishes as well as huge margaritas plus there’s live music.
When I go there and order a margarita (or two), I try different flavors. My heart always goes back to strawberry unless I make them at home. In that case, I like to either make my Creamsicle Margarita, my Strawberry Mango or my Spicy Margarita including this one… my Mixed Berry Margarita!
It’s so good! Not too sweet and not too strong, just the right balance! The consistency is perfect! It’s somewhat slushy but if you prefer less or more, adjust the amount of ice cubes accordingly. I use white tequila because it’s what I prefer but if you have a favorite like reposado or gold, go ahead and use it instead!
I buy my frozen fruits in a big bag from Costco® but if you decide to use fresh berries instead, I suggest you click on this link to find out how to keep them longer… Berries • How to Keep Them Longer.
Like most recipes, this can always be altered to your liking. If mangoes are your thing, substitute them for the mixed berries; the same goes for strawberries. Agave nectar is another ingredient used in this cocktail which can be substituted with honey. My Mixed Berry Margarita recipe is a little unorthodox. I like to add sweet soda and sparkling mineral water to my mix. It gives an extra layer of flavor to the drink. When I’m in Mexico, I use Squirt® as a substitute for soda and mineral water.
When it’s hot outside and you want a refreshing cocktail to sip on, this Mixed Berry Margarita is the way to go! Garnish your glass with a lime wedge, sit back, relax and enjoy this great summer drink! Like I always say when I post any “alcoholic beverages”, please drink responsibly and don’t drink & drive… it’s not cool!
Cheers
