Cocktail of the week: Lardo’s blackberry and tequila tommy – recipe | Cocktails

A neat little seasonal twist on the basic margarita, and ease itself to drag collectively.

Blackberry and tequila tommy

Serves 1

8 recent blackberries
50ml tequila – we use El Tequileño
25ml agave syrup – we use Beso
25ml recent lime juice

Put six of the blackberries in a cocktail shaker, then muddle (ie, bash) them to bruise and launch a few of their juices. Measure in all of the liquids, add an enormous handful of ice and shake exhausting. Double-strain right into a coupe (chill it first, if you happen to like), and serve with the remaining two berries impaled on a cocktail stick for garnish.
