Margaritas are a classic summer cocktail for their fresh and bright citrus flavor. This Blackberry Mint Margarita takes that classic and adds a fruity and herbal twist. The blackberries add beautiful color and sweetness while the mint adds freshness and a pop of green color. This is the perfect cocktail for sipping on the patio, poolside, in the sun, or under the stars. Plus, muddling the blackberries at the bottom makes the final drink look like a beautiful summer sunset.
This cocktail is simple to throw together. Muddling the berries and mint helps to bring out the flavors and aromas and infuse them into the honey.
