Margarita - Blackberry Margarita

What's the difference between a cocktail and a drink? Hell, we don't know! As near as can be said, a drink is alcohol, a mixer, and (or not) ice. A cocktail is something carefully constructed using different ingredients and with finesse. Sometimes, but not always, cocktails are served in stemware, fancy glasses. You be the judge.

3 large limes, juiced
½ cup simple syrup (1/2 cup water & ¼ cup sugar or xylitol on medium heat until sugar dissolves. Cool)
½ cup blanco tequila (100% Agave)
3 ounces orange liqueur (Grand Marnier, Cointreau, or Triple Sec)
1 container fresh blackberries, about 6 ounces

Prepare glass by rubbing leftover freshly squeezed rind over rims of glass to moisten. Pour in a dish salt, sugar or a mixture of the two. Dip rim of glasses in the mixture. Combine lime juice, simple sugar, tequila, Orange liqueur, and blackberries in a blender. Process until smooth. Pour mixture through a small sieved strainer over a container, removing solids. Serve over ice.
