Method
Prep
Chill glass
Place a Collins or highball glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to chill.
If using whole fruit, squeeze fresh orange and lemon juice. Strain any large pulp or seeds for a smooth cocktail.
Build
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice (about 1 cup).
Add 2 oz Jose Cuervo Reposado, 2 oz fresh orange juice, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.75 oz blackberry liqueur, and 2 dashes of orange bitters to the shaker.
Shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the exterior of the shaker is cold and well-chilled. This dilutes and combines the citrus with the liqueur and tequila.
Finish & Serve
Double-strain the shaken cocktail into the prepared glass over the fresh ice to remove small ice chips and pulp. Use a fine mesh strainer if available.
Top gently with 2 oz chilled Sprite (approximate — pour slowly to preserve carbonation). Stir once gently with a bar spoon to integrate the soda without flattening it.
Skewer 2–3 fresh blackberries on a cocktail pick and lay across the rim or drop them into the drink. Garnish with an orange wheel or a twist on the rim.
Serve immediately with a straw if desired.
