Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lime cut into wedges
- 1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup water
- ½-¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup 100% Agave Blanco Tequila
- ¾ cup Cointreau or Triple Sec
- ¾ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 12 ounces (1 pint) fresh blackberries, plus more for garnish
- Crushed ice
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, combine the sugar and salt. Rub the rim of each glass with the cut edge of a lime wedge. Dip the rim of the glass into the sugar-salt mixture; set aside.
- In a microwave-safe cup, combine the water and sugar. Microwave on high until the sugar completely dissolves, 1-2 minutes. Stir and set aside to cool.
- In a blender combine the syrup, tequila, Cointreau/Triple Sec, lime juice, and blackberries; process until smooth. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve set over a large pitcher, pressing on the solids to extract all the liquid (discard the solids).
- Serve immediately over crushed ice or refrigerate for several hours or overnight to allow the flavors to develop. Enjoy!
