- 10 pieces Black cherries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 ounces Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 ounces Tequila (preferably silver)
- 1 ounce Orange liqueur (such as Cointreau or Triple Sec)
- 1 ounce Agave syrup (or simple syrup)

Instructions
If using fresh black cherries, pit them. If using frozen cherries, let them thaw slightly if needed.
In a cocktail shaker, muddle the black cherries until they release their juices and are broken down into small bits.
Add the lime juice, tequila, orange liqueur, and agave syrup to the shaker.
Fill the shaker with ice cubes, cover, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
If desired, prepare the serving glass by moistening the rim with a lime wedge and dipping it into salt to create a salted rim.
Fill the glass with fresh ice and strain the margarita mixture into the glass, discarding the cherry solids.
Garnish with a lime wedge and a black cherry for an elegant presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy your handcrafted Black Cherry Margarita!
