For those who prefer a less sweet option, feel free to adjust the level of simple syrup to suit your taste. You can also experiment with different types of tequila for varying flavor profiles – a reposado tequila can add a smoother, oakier note, while a blanco tequila can bring a crisper taste to the drink.
Remember, presentation matters too! Take the extra minute to garnish your Blackberry Sage Margarita with additional blackberries and sage leaves for a touch of elegance. The vibrant colors of the blackberries will stand out beautifully against the pale pink hue of the drink, making it a feast for the eyes as well.
