What Is a Wild Berri Vodka Margarita?  

At Absolut, as we always say, we believe making great drinks should be easy and fun. In fact, we believe that anyone can make a great cocktail if they have quality ingredients.  

Now, if you’ve never tasted a Wild Berri Vodka Margarita, you’re in for a treat. “Wait! A Margarita with Vodka?”, you ask. That’s right –also known as a Vodkarita, a margarita made with Vodka is absolutely delicious. 

The Wild Berri Vodka Margarita offers a tantalizing fusion of flavors. The vibrant notes of wild berry vodka intertwine with the zesty brightness of orange Curaçao and the tangy freshness of lime juice, creating an extremely well-balanced cocktail.  

A Wild Berri Vodka Margarita is a chilled cocktail, not a slushie. And that’s important to remember.  

So, to make a batch of Wild Berri Vodka Margaritas, what’ll you need is a bottle of Absolut Wild Berri, Orange Curaçao, fresh Lime Juice, Simple Syrup, fresh Blackberries, and some Ice Cubes.

Balancing and Blending Your Drink  

Achieving the right balance of sugar and citrus in a cocktail is crucial just like getting salt and pepper right in food. It’s an art. Luckily, the Wild Berri Vodka Margarita is the perfect drink to prove to your friends that you can balance a drink. 

Bartender tip! As Rico explains, “When you shake a cocktail, you get to dilute it and that’s what we’re going to do but in a blender. And to not make a slush, add two Ice Cubes per drink and this will make a beautifully diluted and shaken up cocktail.” 

Quick and easy Vodkaritas 

Before you start blending, add fresh blueberries (e.g. two per drink) to the mix to add that lovely purple color to your Wild Berri Vodka Margarita. Now, you’ve got some serious eye candy going on. 

After blending everything in the blender, all you need is a conventional household sieve to strain the mix and a nice big jug to serve it up in.  

There you have it! A batch of Wild Berri Vodka Margaritas. Quick, easy and delicious. And you’ve even got a few moments before your guests arrive to get your rimmed glasses ready and change into a fresh shirt.
