- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons salt or sugar (for rimming the glass, optional)
- 1 piece lime wedge

Directions
Step 1
If rimming your glass, pour the salt or sugar onto a small plate. Run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass, then dip the rim into the salt or sugar until evenly coated. Set the glass aside.

In a cocktail shaker, combine the fresh blackberries and mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the ingredients and release their juices and aromas.

Add the lime juice, agave syrup, silver tequila, and orange liqueur to the shaker.
Step 4
Fill the shaker with ice cubes and secure the lid tightly.
Step 5
Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to thoroughly combine and chill the margarita.
Step 6
Fill your prepared glass with fresh ice (optional) and strain the margarita mixture into the glass using a fine-mesh strainer to remove any pulp or seeds.
Step 7
Garnish with a sprig of mint and a few whole blackberries for a vibrant presentation.
