Method
Step 1: Prepare the Rosemary-Infused Simple Syrup
Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Add the rosemary sprigs and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Remove from heat and let it steep for about 15-20 minutes.
Strain the syrup into a clean jar and let it cool. This can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Step 2: Make the Blackberry Rosemary Margarita
In a cocktail shaker, muddle the fresh blackberries until they’re broken down.
Add the fresh lime juice, tequila, agave syrup, and rosemary-infused simple syrup.
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
If desired, rim your glasses with lime juice and dip them in salt or sugar.
Strain the mixture into the prepared glasses filled with ice.
Garnish with additional blackberries and a sprig of fresh rosemary.
Step 3: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the margaritas immediately and enjoy the refreshing taste!
