Cocktail of the week: Lardo’s blackberry and tequila tommy – recipe | The good mixer

A neat little seasonal twist on the classic margarita, and simplicity itself to pull together.

Blackberry and tequila tommy

Serves 1

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

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