Instructions

Preparation

  1. Add the blackberries and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker. Muddle until the blackberries are well-pulverized.
  2. Add the tequila, orange liqueur, fresh lime juice and a handful of ice to the cocktail shaker. Put on the top and shake vigorously until well-chilled, about 15-30 seconds.

Serving

  1. If you'd like a salted glass, run a lime slice along the rim of the glass to moisten. Sprinkle coarse sea salt on a small plate and swirl the rim into the salt.
  2. Replace the cocktail shaker top with a cocktail strainer and strain into an ice-filled glass. Garnish with additional lime slices and blackberries if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe blackberries in season.
  • Reposado tequila adds a smoother, more complex flavor to this margarita.
  • Grand Marnier or Cointreau are preferred for their superior orange flavor.
