Cocktail

2 oz Dulce Vida Blanco Tequila3/4 oz Orange liqueur (e.g., Cointreau or Triple Sec)6 whole Fresh blackberries3/4 oz Fresh lime juice1/2 oz Simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water)1 cup Ice (for shaking)1 cup Cracked ice or ice cubes (for serving)1 whole Blackberry (for garnish)1 whole Lime wheel or wedge (for garnish)

Method

Cocktail

Muddle

Place 6 fresh blackberries and 0.5 oz simple syrup into a cocktail shaker. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the blackberries until they release juice and break down but still retain some texture (about 20–30 seconds).

Add spirits and citrus

Add 2 oz Dulce Vida Blanco Tequila, 0.75 oz orange liqueur, and 0.75 oz fresh lime juice to the shaker.

Shake

Fill the shaker with about 1 cup of ice, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is very cold.

Prepare glass

Fill a rocks glass with cracked ice or ice cubes (about 1 cup). Optionally, rub a lime wedge around the rim before filling if you want a faint citrus aroma.

Double strain and serve

Double-strain the cocktail through a fine-mesh strainer (to catch seeds and pulp) into the prepared glass over ice.

Garnish

Skewer one fresh blackberry and place it on the rim or drop it into the glass. Add a lime wheel or wedge on the rim.

Optional adjustment

Taste and, if you prefer it sweeter, stir in an additional 0.25–0.5 oz simple syrup; if you prefer more tartness, add a splash (0.25 oz) more lime juice. Stir gently to combine.
