Ingredients for Berry Margarita Dessert

  • Unflavored Gelatin
  • Water
  • Mixed Berries
  • 1/2 cup margarita mix
  • Tequila
  • 1/4 cup orange liqueur (or 1/2 cup orange juice for non-alcoholic version)
  • Lime Wedge
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • Mint

How to Make Berry Margarita Dessert

  1. In a small saucepan, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup of cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. Gently heat the gelatin mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Do not boil.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Add the dissolved gelatin to the blender and blend until well combined.
  6. Rub the rims of 4-6 martini glasses with a lime wedge.
  7. Place 1/4 cup of sugar on a plate. Dip the rims of the prepared glasses into the sugar to coat.
  8. Divide the berry mixture evenly among the prepared glasses.
  9. Cover the glasses with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
  10. Garnish with fresh berries and a sprig of mint before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
