Ingredients

For the Simple Syrup:

  • 1 c. water
  • 1/2 c. granulated sugar

For the Margaritas

  • 2 Tbs. kosher salt for coating the rim
  • 1 lime for coating the rim and for garnish
  • 1 c. 100% agave blanco tequila
  • 3/4 c. Grand Marnier
  • 2/3 c. fresh lime juice
  • 12 oz. fresh blackberries

Instructions

Make the Simple Syrup:

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat water and sugar for 2 1/2 minutes. Stir, ensuring all of the sugar is dissolved. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes.

Prep the Glasses:

  1. While syrup cools, prep 6-8 cocktail glasses. Spread salt evenly on a plate. Cut lime into 7-9 wedges or rounds - the number of glasses + 1. Use one wedge to rub the rims of glasses. Set remaining lime wedges/rounds aside. Dip glass rims into salt. Fill glasses halfway with ice and set aside.

Make the Cocktail:

  1. Add syrup, tequila, Grand Marnier, lime juice, and blackberries to a blender. Process until smooth. Strain through a cheesecloth-lined sieve over a pitcher. Discard solids.
  2. Pour margaritas into prepared glasses and garnish with a lime wedge.
  3. Serve immediately.
