Easy Blackberry Margaritas
Easy Blackberry Margaritas are the perfect cocktail for parties and get togethers with friends! It’s a sweet version of a classic margarita with tons of fresh blackberry flavor.
Is there any better party cocktail than a margarita? My Pineapple Margaritas are a crowd favorite and there’s always Classic Margaritas and another summer favorite the Frozen Peach Margaritas! Of course you can’t go wrong with a Strawberry Margarita! Can you tell I have a thing for margaritas? They are my favorite!
Easy Blackberry Margaritas
We have so many wild blackberry bushes growing on the ranch. They are really an invasive plant and terrible about over growing in fence rows and in pastures. But we keep some of the around because we love fresh blackberries so much.
I will endure the scorching heat, the prickly bushes and even the worse case of chiggers I’ve ever had to get my hands on as many wild blackberries as I can pick. Then I can make Easy Blackberry Crisp, No Bake Blackberry Cheesecake, and of course these Easy Blackberry Margaritas!

I thought these easy blackberry margaritas were perfect to sip on by the pool and they are totally gorgeous for entertaining. I love easy summer get togethers and you can’t go wrong with margaritas.
Fall is just around the corner and I’m going to be sad to see summer go. I have not had nearly enough time in the pool this summer.
Last week I made a major business decision and I’m hoping it does give me more time to do things I want to do. I want to share more recipes here and have time to get in the pool or just time to hang out with my new grandkid.
I’ve just become so burned out working seven days a week. I have been doing it so long, I can’t even imagine what it will be like to not have every day filled up with a huge list of things to accomplish.
I am not good at change but I’m so ready for a break from the stress and I feel like I will be much more productive if I have time to breathe.
Visiting Hot Springs, Arkansas
Last week we took a quick trip over to Hot Springs, Arkansas before school started. Of course I worked on the drive over, at the hotel and on the drive home. That’s the tough part of the social media business, it’s 24/7.
We really had a ball. The historic downtown is gorgeous. I loved the architecture and visiting the shops. If you ever get the chance to visit, do it.
Put-put golf was really fun and we rode a 4D simulated roller coaster and visited the Mid America Science Museum. It was a quick trip but lots of fun.
Hopefully we can go back when we have more time and spend some time on the lake and visit the botanical gardens. There’s also horse racing and an awesome amusement park and water park too.
It was fun to squeeze in one more thing before Emmet went back to school. Eighth grade this year! I can’t believe it.

Can frozen blackberries be used?

You can! I hope you enjoy them!

Can I use a flavored Seltzer water instead of Sprite?
Sure!
It doesn’t say anything about the tequila in the recipe. Do you add it when you add the triple sec?
Hi Melissa,
I have updated the recipe and the tequila is added with the triple sec. Thanks for letting me know that was missing.
Hope you enjoy these margaritas!
