Cocktail Description
The Blackberry Tease lives up to its name, drawing you in with its vibrant purple hue that slowly deepens as the blackberry liqueur bleeds through layers of crushed ice.
This sophisticated tequila cocktail balances bright citrus notes from fresh lemon and lime juices against the rich sweetness of organic agave syrup, while the Combier Crème de Mûre adds a luscious berry finish that's both tart and sweet. It's surprisingly approachable to make at home, requiring just a good shake of the base ingredients before the dramatic drizzle of blackberry liqueur creates its signature gradient effect. Perfect for summer gatherings or as an impressive nightcap when entertaining friends, this drink shines alongside grilled meats, particularly pork with fruit glazes, or as a counterpoint to spicy Mexican dishes where its cooling sweetness provides welcome relief. The Blackberry Tease also pairs beautifully with dark chocolate desserts, the berry notes complementing the cocoa's richness while the citrus cuts through its intensity.
