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