Ingredients

6 blackberries approx - can use a couple more if you like
1 ½ fl oz tequila can also use mezcal
¾ fl oz triple sec
¾ fl oz fresh lime juice
½ fl oz simple syrup or blackberry syrup, see notes

Instructions

Wash the blackberries well then place in a cocktail shaker. Muddle the blackberries well to release as much of their juices as you can.
Add the rest of the ingredients (the tequila, triple sec, lime juice and simple syrup) along with two or three cubes of ice and shake well. Strain into a glass, over more ice.

Notes

Using blackberry syrup will help to boost the blackberry flavor a little more. To make your own, combine equal parts by volume water and sugar, eg ¼ cup (60ml) water and ¼ cup (50g) sugar with a little under 2 parts, ½ cup (2oz/55g) blackberries in a small pan. Warm, stirring now and then, to bring to a simmer. Mash to break up the berries. Simmer a couple minutes then leave to cool, strain and then store in a bottle or jar in the fridge until needed. This will make more than you need but it will last at least a week or more and can be used for other drinks, too.
