Blackberry Margarita Smash: A Refreshing Twist on a Classic Favorite

In a small bowl, combine the fresh blackberries and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to mash the berries until they are broken down and the sugar is mostly dissolved.

Strain the Mixture:
Strain the blackberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the leftover solids.

Combine the Ingredients:
Add the tequila, lime juice, and triple sec to the pitcher with the blackberry juice. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Prepare the Glasses:
Run a lime slice around the rim of your serving glasses and dip them into a plate of salt or sugar, depending on your preference.

Serve the Cocktail:
Fill the prepared glasses with ice cubes and pour the blackberry margarita mixture over the ice. Garnish with lime slices and additional blackberries for a festive touch.

Enjoy:
Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant, fruity taste of this refreshing cocktail.
