Spicy Margarita Recipe

The perfect addition to this spicy margarita recipe? Green chiles! It’s something a little different for a cocktail recipe but it makes all the difference. Just what this drink needed!

I made these blackberry margaritas with Old El Paso Green Chiles. I am so honored to be working with Old El Paso this year, because they make cooking EASY. Sure, we could chop up chiles to make this sweet lil margarita spicy, but using a can of green chiles from Old El Paso is so much simpler, and just as yummy. Win win!

It’s no coincidence that cocktails are one of my favorite things to make. They’re simple and pretty quick to create for parties. I love that! This spicy margarita recipe is so easy and SO flavorful. You just have to try it out!

How to Make Blackberry Margaritas:

1. Place lime juice, blackberries, and green chiles into a bowl, and use a muddler or immersion blender to fully combine. You want to create a relatively smooth consistency.
2. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove the blackberry seeds. You might need to use a spoon to press the mixture through to make sure all the liquid comes through.
3. Now pour the juice into a pitcher and add in the blackberry brandy, orange juice, tequila, and agave. Stir everything together to make sure it’s even;y mixed.
4. To rim the glasses: mix chili powder and sea salt on a small plate. Dip each glass into lime juice and then into the chili mixture.
5. Fill your glasses with ice, pour in the blackberry margaritas, and garnish with fresh blackberries and lime wedges!

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups fresh blackberries
• 1 4.5 ounce can chopped Old El Paso green chiles
• 1 cup lime juice
• 3 ounces 2 shots blackberry brandy
• 2 1/2 cups orange juice
• 3/4 cup good quality tequila
• 3 tablespoons agave nectar or more to taste
• Coarse sea salt or salt flakes and chili powder for rim
• blackberries and lime wedges for garnish

Instructions

• Place the lime juice, blackberries, and green chiles in a small bowl. Using a muddler or immersion blender, muddle/blend until fully combined. The smoother the better.
• Pour the blackberry mixture through a fine mesh strainer and remove the seeds. For me, the mixture was relatively thick so I pressed it through using a spoon to get all the juice out.
• Pour the juice into a pitcher, followed by the blackberry brandy, orange juice, tequila, and agave. Stir to fully combine.
• Combine sea salt and chili powder (equal parts) on a plate. Dip the rim of each glass in water or lime juice and then submerge in the salt/chili mixture.
• Fill each glass with ice and then pour in the margaritas.
• Garnish with blackberries and lime wedges. Enjoy!
