The steamy months of summer seem like they're made just to give us a reason to drink margaritas. The cool, citrusy cocktail garnished with a rim of glittering salt is one of the best ways to forget about the temperature and get lost in good times. Margaritas are also a great way to use up some of that fresh fruit from the market—especially fruits with a hint of tartness.

Blackberries add deep berry flavor and a vibrant red color to this margarita. The salted rim provides the perfect contrast to the sweet and tart citrus and berry flavors while the blackberry garnish helps dress this drink up.

Small slice lime. Garnish: 2 blackberries , wooden skewer. Pour the salt onto a plate in an even layer. Rub a slice of lime around the outside rim of the glass, then rotate the edge of the glass in the salt until the entire rim is covered in salt.

Set aside. In the bottom of a cocktail shaker, muddle blackberries until completely mashed. Add lime juice, tequila, Contreau, and agave nectar to taste. Fill shaker with ice and shake until well chilled, about 15 seconds.

Yeah, that was fun to clean up. Let's just say a beverage to take the edge off was in order. I have to admit, I am not the biggest fan of hard alcohol.

But when it is shaken up with citrus, fruit flavors, and a bit of sugar, then I am on board. I made tacos the other night with leftover pork shoulder from Sunday I'll get to that recipe soon and homemade flour tortillas.

Letting it set up allows the flavors to develop while a better blackberry taste comes through. Since the blackberries are pureed, the mixture is a little thicker than a traditional margarita. But once poured over crushed ice, it has the perfect consistency. I like my cocktails on the sweeter side, but you can certainly dial back on the sugar to suit your own taste.

I also add a bit more lime juice because I love the blackberry-lime combination. Instead of the usual lime-salt rim, I use a mixture of sugar and salt to help it go down smooth. That sweet and salty kiss is the perfect prelude to a sip of this fruity cocktail. Boy, am I glad I have enough blackberries to make another batch.
