Black Magic Margarita

A little dark.
A little dramatic.
​Just like my mood after bedtime gets postponed.
This Black Magic Margarita brings the Halloween attitude without requiring a costume change. Grab a glass. The laundry can wait.

Makes 1 drink

Ingredients
• 2 oz tequila
• 1 oz lime juice
• ¾ oz orange liqueur
• 1 oz blackberry syrup
• Ice
• Optional: black decorating sugar, blackberries, and a lime slice
How to make it

1. Run a lime wedge around the glass rim, then dip it into black decorating sugar.
2. Add tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, and blackberry syrup to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
3. Shake until chilled, then strain into your glass over fresh ice.
4. Add blackberries and a lime slice. Admire your work before someone interrupts you.

A little tart. A little dark.
The blackberry syrup gives this margarita a deep berry color. The exact shade depends on your syrup, so expect burgundy or purple rather than jet black.
Made it? Spill it.
