Tasting Notes
The Blackberry Mango Margarita is a vibrant, fruity fusion of tropical mango and tart blackberry with a bold citrus finish. Tequila blanco forms the clean agave base, while Cointreau and lime juice add zesty brightness. Sweet & sour mix and agave syrup balance the fruitiness of mango nectar, and fresh blackberries give it a juicy, berry-rich depth. Finished with a Tajín rim and lime wheel, this margarita is sweet, tangy, and irresistibly sippable with a subtle spicy kick.
