Blackberry Margaritas

Sarah for Real

My horror stories revolve around gin mostly. I think I have the right chemical composition for tequila.

Me and tequila, we are good friends 😀

Camille

I’m not a huge alcohol fan, but even I will admit that these look awesome!
They sound like something I need to ship up for my parents when they come to visit me 🙂

Jessica @ How Sweet

Margs are my favorite drink and I don’t have a horror story behind tequila – I hope I never do because I will probably not want to drink them then!

Megan

Let’s put it this way…I can’t think of a tequila story that isn’t a horror story 🙂

Estela @ Weekly Bite

I heart margaritas! They’re my favorite beverage 🙂

Kelly

Oh yes, I have a horror story. I used to love tequila sunrises and one night I was making them way too strong at a party at my downstairs neighbor’s apt. Long story short, I had to be carried up stairs to our apartment where I ended up throwing up on our carpet, knocking over a bookcase and crying out, “I want to die I want to die!” Needless to say, I haven’t had a tequila sunrise since 🙂 BUT I do still love tequila plain or in margs!! 🙂

leslie

oh, i have a wonderful tequila horror story, but i think it is probably not appropriate for blog comments. let’s just say it involved several shots of patron, a california lawyer, a room at the hilton, and an unfortunately timed response to that amount of liquor. yeah.

ironically, tequila remains my absolute favorite liquor. try jalapeno tequila sometime if you can find it! my life has never been the same since that discovery.

Shelly

I don’t have a tequila horror story- mine involve Taaka and Hawaiian Punch, Yaeger Bombs, and Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka. Never never never again for any of those!

Marie

I loooooove tequila and margaritas! When we make them, we put honey on the rim with salt…it adds a little bit of sweetness…fresh mangos and mango juice is delicious in a margarita too!!! oooo and blood oranges…I just love margaritas in general.

marie

Yes. It begins in Mexico and ends with both me AND my husband having a severe case of the voms. I hope that paints a pretty picture for you.

Julie

Ugg. Joes Cuervo is like a mean boyfriend. It’s all warm and fuzzy in the beginning but when you let your guard down and get too close, you end up crying and swearing and wishing you’d never met him in the first place. If I had only known it was going to end so badly!
I haven’t touched the stuff since.

LindseyAnn

It’s not a horror story but a comedy: I ended up on stage with a friend singing Britney Spears’ “(You Drive Me) Crazy” at a karaoke bar like I was a singing superstar. There may have a moment when I kissed said friend, too… 😮

Sarah @ Sarah's Shaping Up

Ahh. Tequila horror stories. Yikes! The most memorable one was this past spring when West Virginia beat UK in the elite 8 during March Madness. As a diehard Louisville Cardinals fan, I HATE UK so after they lost, my friends and I had a big celebration. Needless to say, I ended up literally SLEEPING on the kitchen floor that night. Oops! 😉

claire!!

I have too many tequila horror stories from college to name…but, coincidentally enough, last night I was dragged to our local bar for $3 wine night (ok, maybe not dragged…) when suddenly my drinking companion decided to buy patron shots. Gahh. Needless to say, I’m not feelin’ too hot in the cubical today.

Heather (Heather's Dish)

first, how did you know i could use 12…err…2…of these right now? sounds amazing!

tequila horror story…in college, my first drinking experience and the only time i’ve ever been hungover, was a friend’s 21st birthday party. i drank 4 Smirnoff Raspberry twists because i thought they were basically soda. wrong. then, i was so tipsy off of that, that my roomie convinced me to take 4 shots of tequila AT ONCE out of a measuring cup. KLASSY.

let’s just say i was that girl in the alley vomiting all night. never again.

Christina

Oh Tequila! Jose and I got into a fight and I lost. He left me on the side of the road to die. He’s a jerk and we no longer speak. I should upgrade to better tequila. The Blackberry Margaritas look delicious.

Elise

I banned myself from tequila. Because it was not a good experience. Now I can only have it in small doses — but it has to be reposado o antiguo. Silver still makes me gag.

And on that note: never take shots of tequila. It never leads to good things. Although, I’m still considering whether or not I could pass off this blackberry margarita as “juice” in class today…

Emily @ For Sweets Sake

oh tequila. How I love thee<3 I've had many fun nights with tequilla and some nights I'll can't remember but my friends will never let me forget 🙂 best tequilla night: taking shots with my roommate, then going to the Penn State homecoming parade and proposing to a guy in Dunkin Donuts. I called it off 5 minutes later when he ran away from me and my roommate. It just wasn't meant to be.

Jackie

I recently decided, before moving day, that double tequilla and pineapple juice was a good idea to drink all night at my friend’s Bachelorette Party. The next morning I woke up, still kind of drunk, tossed my cookies, and “helped” my boyfriend move all of our stuff. I’m lucky I have such a nice boyfriend because he wasn’t annoyed with me being a bad helper at all! 🙂

After going to Mexico and having too much tequila I no longer partake in any. But that drink does look good. 🙂

Amber K

Yes! I spent my 21st birthday at a Mexican restaurant and they brought over a birthday shot of tequila. It was my very first shot ever and I took it straight down, and then it and my entire dinner came straight up and all over the table.

I replace any alcohol in drink recipes with vodka and I’m fine. 🙂

katherine

Not my story but my best friend had absd interaction with Jose our second year or college and ended up so sick she barfed her noise ring out into my trash can.

Kath

Please come to Charlottesville and try the SPICE-A-RITA made from jalapenos. It’s the best one I’ve ever had!

Anna

What better to go with tequila (or any great drink really!) than burgers!?!

I had a tequila incident once in Chicago while on vacation. It was not pretty so I prefer not to relive it!

P.S. Your blog is great! Love the new style 🙂

Corey

Mmmm tequila…what started out as a fun round of shots quickly turned into body shots with friends and ended with my sister and I fighting over who got to eat the worm at the bottom of the bottle. Touche Jose, you win again!

elise

spring break. rosarito, mexico. boom boom room’s $5 all you can drink tequila.

game over.

haven’t touched it since.

Caitlin

How summery and fresh! My friends threw a Labor Day Barbecue and made Blackberry Mojitos; they were so very good and full of alcohol.

Krystina

Oh my stars I desperately want that in my life. I LOVE margaritas.

Diana @ frontyardfoodie

haha you crack me up. Glad you were able to revisit the forbidden drink. That looks amazing!

Jil @ Peace, Love & Munchies

Oh…my. That margarita looks absolutely amazing.

Dani

Oh Em Gee, that sounds fantastic! The last time I drank tequila I ended up doing shots with my daughter’s best friend’s brother and she found out about it on FB minutes later. Ick.

Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga)

Holy hell that margarita recipe looks fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tequilla horror story? Oh honey back in the day I could drink up a $100 bar tab faster than you could say pass the Cuervo! I have done everything from drive to Mexico (I live in San Diego) after drinking tequilla to karoake to skinny dipping to kissing the porcelain goddess to calling people in my cell phone at 4am, there is just no tellin’ what I am capable of 🙂 I have mellowed though… I have a 3 yr old now 🙂 Mellowed, but not boring!

eatmovelove

LOL – love Averies’ answer!

Tequila is where it’s at if you want a good time…until you take one shot too many that is ;). Oof.

Your burger got me. I had a big juicy one myself. Yommers.

Bec

I love a good margarita! I also love tequila but it hasn’t always loved me. One time in high school after a night with a few tequila shots I threw up in the parking lot of our local ski hill upon arriving there with my parents. They were not too impressed to say the least!

Cara

I am not a “big” drinker…I actually just had my first tequila shot last weekend. My friends were quite surprised that it was my first and had to teach me how to properly do the shot. Ha!

Janna (janna's keeping it real)

I had a lot of out of town clients at my old job, and one night a week when the manager would come out, we would usually go out to eat/have a couple drinks….

One particular night, after a Margarita my coworker decides we should have a shot of patron…one led to ~4 more, a taxi ride to Dave and busters, video games and pool until wee hours of the night… I woke up the next morning in my hotel room with an apple eaten to the core sitting on my nightstand (healthy drunk eating, obviously), an overflowing bucket of Dave and Buster tickets on the coffee table, and a D&B card (which I later found out had a large amount of money still loaded on it…Apparently, according to the messages I left on my roomies voice mail, I was struggling to get the guitar hero game to work and just kept loading more and more money onto my card. Lovely.

Clearly not one of my finer moments. I’d like to say I was “immature”, but I was 25!!!!… Breakfast the next morning with the coworkers consisted of zero talking, and lots of dry toast….

Faith @ lovelyascharged

What a fun fresh spin on the marg!

Nancy @ The Wife of a Dairyman

Umm, maybe you should begin posting cocktails on your site because this one sounds like I’ve GOT to try it!

Marina

I love cocktails 🙂
I would love to try it, but I have no idea where to find black current liquor :/

Jillian @ Reshape Your Life

Tequila and I don’t get along… Every time I drink tequila it’s a horror story.

I don’t know why, but Tequila makes me allergic to my clothes. You know that song? Tequila makes her clothes fall off? Yea, I’m pretty sure that was written about me, because it happens EVERY TIME. No other alcohol affects me like that.

So I stay as far away from tequila as I can… for the sake of whats left of my dignity.

kyla

Someone decided body shots would be a good idea. I was a body and put the shot waaaay to far in my mouth so my friend was practically kissing me when he got it the shot. Prior to that, I had had about 5 tekillaya shots.

Still drink it though every once in awhile. Those nights never equal fun mornings.

Chelsea (Chelsea's Chew and Run Fun)

I have plenty of tequila horror stories, one of which involved me crawling up the stairs of the bar and weeping. Haha, funny in retrospect.

I don’t know which looks better, the margaritas or the blue burger and salad. I’ll take all three.

Ashley

It just wouldn’t be a Texas experience without having Margaritas! My Best Friend and I have a ritual, we have a Rita date every Friday. 😉 Mmmm I’ll have to try a Blackberry! I’m stuck on the ‘Swirl’. Which is Strawberry and Lime together.

Katie

Haha yeah tequila and I aren’t really friends. I generally stay away from it unless I go get Mexican food. There I will probably get a margarita! I took a shot of tequila for my birthday and that wasn’t bad but no more than one tequila shot or I’ll be under the table!!

Dee

white tequila shots, too many, lost consciousness, fortunately at home with roomates, multiple episodes of vomiting that I don’t even remember but friends cleaned up, woke up not remembering prior 12 hours of my life, though slept only 4 of those, and finally, one final vomit when I stood up after waking, and that I do remember. Now the smell of white tequila makes me feel sick. A very good thing!

Liz @ Tip Top Shape

ha, no tequila horror stories but I have quite a few with whiskey. The two of us REALLY do not get along. lol

Amber K

YES! I do, in fact. On my 21st birthday I went to a Mexican restaurant and had my first (legal) drink. They brought me over a free Tequila shot for my birthday. I had never taken a shot before and my stomach was not prepared to have the alcohol in it so quickly. It went down…and immediately came back up. All over the rest of my food and the table. I am strictly a vodka girl!
