How to Make Berry Margarita Dessert
- In a small saucepan, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup of cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
- Gently heat the gelatin mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Do not boil.
- While the gelatin is blooming, combine 1 cup of mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries), 1/2 cup margarita mix, and 1/4 cup orange liqueur (or 1/2 cup orange juice for non-alcoholic version) in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Strain the berry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Return the strained mixture to the blender.
- Add the dissolved gelatin to the blender and blend until well combined.
- Rub the rims of 4-6 martini glasses with a lime wedge.
- Place 1/4 cup of sugar on a plate. Dip the rims of the prepared glasses into the sugar to coat.
- Divide the berry mixture evenly among the prepared glasses.
- Cover the glasses with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Garnish with fresh berries and a sprig of mint before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
