TRIPLE BERRY MARGARITAS

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook 4-5 minutes until berries have softened and sugar has dissolved.
• Remove syrup from heat and let it cool completely.
• Strain the simple syrup to remove the berry pieces and set strained simple syrup aside for the margaritas. (I like to save the cooked-down berries for smoothies later in the week!)
• Lay two plates down on the counter. Add just enough water to the first plate to cover its surface. Add your sugar or salt (I like sugar on my cocktail glasses!) to the second plate and spread it out evenly. Grab four cocktail glasses and dip the rim of each glass lightly into the shallow water on the first plate, and then into the sugar or salt on the second plate. Shake off the excess, fill each glass with 1/4 cup or so of ice, and set aside.
• Combine triple berry simple syrup, lime juice, and tequila in a cocktail shaker. (Depending on the size of your shaker, you may need to do this in two batches). Add a handful of ice and shake well until margaritas are chilled.
• Divide margaritas evenly between your four cocktail glasses.
• Garnish margaritas with extra lime slices and fresh berries (optional) and serve immediately.

MARGARITA PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Process the graham crackers and sugar in a food processor to a fine crumb. Add the melted butter and tequila, and pulse until moist. Press the crumbs into a 9-inch pie plate, and bake until firm, 12 to 15 minutes. Let the crust cool completely on a wire rack.
• For the filling: Whisk together the condensed milk, limeade, tequila, lime juice, liqueur and salt in a large bowl until smooth and combined. Beat the cream with an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment on medium-high speed in another large bowl until stiff peaks form. Reduce the speed to low, and drizzle in the condensed milk mixture. Return the mixer to medium-high, and beat until the mixture is completely incorporated and fluffy, about 30 seconds, stopping to scrape down the side of the bowl if necessary. Transfer the filling to the cooled crust, cover loosely with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Transfer the pie to the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with lime wedges dipped in salt, and serve.

MIXED BERRY FROZEN MARGARITAS

Steps:

• To coat the rim of the glass. Add lime zest to 2 tablespoons of sugar and add to a plate. Take a lime wedge and go around the rim of the glass to cover with lime juice then gently dab the lime rimmed glass in the lime sugar blend. Pour berry margarita into glass and garnish with a lime wedge and strawberry.
• Serve!
