Oil Infused Recipe: Blackberry Lime Margaritas
Ok, I know I'm one day late with the margarita recipe but save this one for when the blackberries are ripe this summer or whenever it sounds good! You could easily make this a mocktail too if you wanted to use some sparkling water instead! Yum, either way! -Lauren Dunaway
