Ingredients

Blackberry Puree

  • 1.5 Cups Blackberries I used fresh ones from Aldi
  • 1-2 Tbsp Sugar I wanted to replace this with syrup but couldn't get any
  • 1/4 Cup Sugar

The Cocktail

  • 1/4 Cup Sugar
  • 2 Lemons or Limes
  • 4 tsp Blackberry Puree
  • 4 ozs Diet Lemonade
  • 4 ozs Tequila

Instructions

First, make the puree

  1. Put the blackberries into the blender and blender until smooth, next push through a sieve to get rid of all of the seeds. Mix in the sugar (or syrup if you would rather use that)

  2. Cover and refrigerate until required

Making the Cocktail

  1. Coat the rim of the glass with lemon/lime juice and sugar - I skipped this step but think it would make the cocktail taste better. In fact, I would use a mix of sugar and salt.

  2. Chuck a load of ice into the glass

  3. Put yet more ice into the cocktail shaker, add 2-4 tsp puree (or scale up if making more), 2 oz's Tequilla and a squeeze of lemon/lime. Shaker until its combined and cold. Pour into the glasses and top up with lemonade.

Recipe Notes

I wish I had done the rim as I thought that this cocktail was missing something.  If I make it again I am going to add some mint or some orange juice as it just seemed like it needed something extra.

Also look at the picture - this is one for later in the evening when no one cares what the cocktails look like!!!
