Replicate this delightful concoction with ease.
The Margarita, a classic cocktail with a rich backstory, has sparked debates over its inception. Some legends trace its origins to a Mexican eatery in the early 1900s, concocted for a budding actress. Others argue it’s a tequila-infused twist on the Prohibition-era Daisy cocktail, substituting brandy. Regardless of its genesis, the Margarita has evolved into a worldwide sensation, with its numerous adaptations reflecting diverse cultural and culinary narratives. Today, we infuse this iconic drink with a summery twist, infusing it with the sweet allure of blackberries, birthing the ‘Blackberry Margarita Smash’.
