On a scale of 1 to 10, this Frozen Blackberry Margarita is definitely an 11.

I mean, it pairs perfectly with a blackberry cobbler, a burger, or basically anything else you might want to enjoy on a hot summer afternoon.

I made it to go with a hot dog. I know, not fabulous, but sometimes a girl’s got to get her hot dog on!

What You Need to Make this Frozen Blackberry Margarita Recipe

Just like with the hot dog, this amazing Blackberry Margarita is pretty simple. There’s not too many ingredients–and they’re all pretty straight-forward.

And the blackberry jam just makes the recipe pop–so don’t skip that.

Here’s what I used:

1 shot Tequila
1/2 shot Triple Sec
1 cup Blackberries, fresh or frozen
⅓ cup Blackberry Jam
2 cups ice
Sugar for rimming

How to Make this Frozen Blackberry Margarita Recipe

Step 1

Place blackberry jam and blackberries over ice. Again, don’t skip the blackberry jam–it totally makes the whole Blackberry Margarita pop.

Step 2

Add triple sec and tequila. I personally have no preference for alcohol brands. I mean, I can taste the difference between different wines, but when you put lime and ice in with some salt and tequila–I really don’t know that I can taste the different tequila flavors.

Step 3

Blend. Now, this sounds simple enough, but you want to blend really well. I used my trusty immersion blender. Cheap little workhorse makes perfectly crushed ice for margaritas every time.

Step 4

Rim glass with the margarita juice. I like doing this so that you’re not just using plain water…but you could also use the blackberry jam. But why, when you have a big bowl of margarita sitting right there?!

Step 5

Dip rim of glass in sugar. Just for a little taste while you’re sipping.

Pour blended mixture into glass. No tricks here, just get ready.

Kick your feet back and enjoy!
