Tips and Variations:

• For a non-alcoholic version, replace tequila and orange liqueur with carbonated water or lemon-lime soda.
• Experiment with raspberries or blueberries for a delicious alternative to blackberries.
• For a spicier kick, add a slice of jalapeño to the mix or garnish the glass with a combination of salt and chili powder.
• Blackberries release more flavor when macerated with sugar for about an hour before muddling.
• Adjust sweetness with simple syrup or agave syrup according to taste preference.
• Always taste your drink before adjusting ingredients; balance is key to achieving the perfect flavor profile.
