Preparation
Optional rim
If you want a sugared rim, run a lime wedge around the serving glass edge and dip the rim in coarse sugar (or salt if you prefer). Set the glass aside to dry briefly.
In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh blackberries and the agave syrup. Muddle firmly until the berries are broken down and the mixture is purplish and syrupy (about 15–20 seconds).
Add the Cuervo Tradicional Silver tequila (2 oz), blackberry liqueur (0.75 oz), and fresh lime juice (0.75 oz) to the shaker.
Fill the shaker with ice (enough to nearly fill it). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and well chilled.
Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared glass (a coupe or rocks glass with fresh ice) using both the shaker strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds and solids.
Garnish with a lime wheel on the rim and a fresh blackberry dropped onto a pick or floated in the drink. Serve immediately.
