A bold, berry–bright frozen margarita that marries juicy blackberries with citrus–forward margarita mix and a delicate elderflower lift. Fresh basil adds a modern, culinary edge that shines on warm–weather and patio menus.
Serves: 1
Makes: 14 oz.
Ingredients:
1 cup ice
5 ounces Island Oasis Shelf Stable Margarita Mix
5 frozen or fresh blackberries
1 ounce silver tequila
½ ounce St. Germain
2–3 fresh basil leaves
Instructions:
Step 1 Rim a large margarita glass with lime and margarita salt.
Step 2 Combine ice, margarita mix, blackberries, tequila, St. Germain, and basil in a blender.
Step 3 Blend until smooth.
Step 4 Pour the mixture into the rimmed margarita glass.
Step 5 Top with a couple fresh blackberries and a sprig of basil & Enjoy!
Extra Twist:
Make it non-alcoholic by eliminating the tequila.
For a high-octane version, add ½ shot each of vodka and clear rum alongside the tequila.
Tasting Notes:
The basil adds a splendid herbal note that helps balance the sweetness of the fruit and the St. Germain. The strength of the tequila and the sour notes of the margarita mix make this frozen mix a winner.
