Tell us if you agree: there's only one thing that could make margaritas more refreshing, and that's the bubbly taste of sparkling juice. If you're on board, scroll ahead to find the recipe of your dreams.

This smoked blackberry margarita combines the strong flavors of the fruit with the fresh powers of a fizzy sip . . OK, and tequila! And because this cocktail requires a little extra finesse — you'll need a smoking gun — friends will be seriously impressed when they stop by on a casual Summer afternoon and you offer to make them the cocktail they didn't even know they needed.
