This black lemonade margarita recipe is a festive, refreshing margarita that includes fresh blackberry puree, lemonade and tequila. The taste is tart, lightly sweet and refreshing, great for the warm weather. This margarita recipe doesn't use margarita mixes but rather fresh ingredients at their peak. Lots of fresh squeezed citrus, and high quality tequila, only the best. To create the fresh, seedless blackberry puree, you will want to process a container of fresh blackberries in a blender until smooth and then pour the puree into a wire mesh colander over a small bowl, using a spoon to push the blackberry liquid through the mesh leaving the seeds behind. Next you will add some sugar to the seedless blackberry puree, the amount of sugar used depends on the sweetness of berries and your own personal taste. This step can be done several days in advance, to save time when you want to make the drinks, just keep the puree covered in a container in the fridge until ready to use. You can also make a simple syrup too, which is essentially the fruit flavour in syrup form. For the full recipe details you'll want to take a look at the site. This would be wonderful to sip on on a hot day, enjoying the sun and soaking up all that summer has to offer.
