The luscious purple color of this drink is a stunner! Taste a berry first to check for sweetness. If it's not supersweet, add a tablespoon of sugar when muddling the berries.

Ingredients

1 drink

1 tablespoon fresh blackberries
1 tablespoon diced poblano peppers, or 1 1/2 tablespoons, if very mild
1 ounce silver tequila
3/4 ounce Cointreau
  1. In a cocktail shaker, muddle the blackberries and poblano peppers. Shake with the tequila, Cointreau, and ice. Strain into a martini glass.

Note:

If working with fresh blackberries, raspberries, or blueberries, to avoid pulp or seeds in your glass, strain before serving. Blackberries not in season? Use frozen berries.

  • Very nice drink. instead of going the sugar rout i added a splash of lime juice for slight citrus kick that you would look for in a marg.

  • TASTY! Just a touch of spicy that lingers on your lips. You have to love that. Mash the berries well to get a good color and I needed to use some sugar, about half the amount. Make them double size to sit nice in a 5 oz martini glass. Don't forget to raise a toast!
