Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Fresh blackberries
- 2 ounces Silver tequila
- 1 ounce Fresh lime juice
- 1 ounce Orange liqueur (e.g., Cointreau or Triple Sec)
- 1 ounce Simple syrup
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons Coarse salt or sugar (for rim, optional)
- 1 piece Lime wedge

Instructions
Optional: Prepare the glass by running a lime wedge around the rim and dipping it into a plate of coarse salt or sugar to coat the edge. Set aside.
In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh blackberries. Muddle them thoroughly to release their juices.
Add the silver tequila, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, simple syrup, and ice cubes to the shaker.
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well-chilled.
Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass over fresh ice using a fine-mesh strainer to remove the blackberry seeds and pulp.
Garnish with a lime wedge and a couple of blackberries on a cocktail pick for a decorative touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Blackberry Margarita!
