Margaritas

Prepare the blackberry simple syrup if you haven't already. Let it cool to room temperature before using or make it in advance and store in the refrigerator to cool.
Add sugar on a plate. Run a lime wedge around the rim of 2 glasses, then dip the rims into your sugar mixture.
In a cocktail shaker, add some ice and combine the blackberry simple syrup, tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice. Cover, and vigorously shake until the outside of the shaker is very cold, for about 20 - 30 seconds.
Divide the margarita among prepared glasses. Top off with more ice. Garnish with fresh blackberries and lime wedges.
Serve and enjoy!
