I am a huge fan of margaritas. My go-to favorite is a classic margarita on the rocks (and don’t skip on the salted rim), but during the Spring and Summer, I like to switch things up and go with this refreshing frozen version. Today I am sharing a Frozen Blackberry-Lime margarita recipe that is tart and sweet and salty all at once.

And a fun bonus… it has a lime popsicle as a garnish. YUM!!

Making Simple Blackberry Syrup

This syrup is easy to make and stores for a week in the refrigerator.

I use outshine fruit bar popsicles as they are delighfully tart!

Outshine popsicles.

I can see these being served on the deck as the sun sets on a lovely summer day. Cheers to summer!


Until next time,

Blackberry Syrup
Place the blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan over medium heat on the stove.
Gently mash the berries to bring out the juices. Add the water and stir to combine.
Simmer for about 10 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup has thickened slightly.
Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature, then pour into a container over a fine-mesh sieve to remove the blackberry seeds.

Tips
  • Don't forget to rim the glass with salt. It adds the perfect amount of salty to sweet.
  • You can use any popsicle, but the lime popsicles are wonderful for dipping into the margarita!
