Ingredients

  • 10-12 fresh blackberries
  • 6-7 mint leaves
  • 4 ounces tequila reposado
  • 1 ounce fresh lemon juice
  • 3-4 ounces sparkling water
  • Fresh blackberries and mint sprigs for garnish
  • Ice

Instructions

  • Add blackberries and mint leaves to a cocktail shaker.
  • Smash together using a cocktail muddler.
  • Add ice to the shaker.
  • Pour in the tequila.
  • Add lemon juice.
  • Shake well to combine and chill. Don't shake too long or the cocktail will become diluted.
  • Add fresh ice to two rocks glasses.
  • Strain the mixture evenly into two glasses.
  • Top each drink with sparkling water.
  • Garnish each with a sprig of fresh mint and a blackberry.

Notes

Make sure to use a good-quality agave tequila. If tequila gives you a headache, try a better quality brand. 
Fresh fruit really is better, but frozen works, too. Any variety of berry works with this drink.
If you're having a party, always serve food with cocktails.
