Blackberry Margaritas

For the blackberry syrup:
Place blackberries and lime juice in a sauce pan over low heat. Heat until berries become soft and begin to burst. Transfer mixture to a blender and puree until smooth.

Add pureed blackberries back to saucepan, along with sugar and water. Bring to a simmer. Simmer for 2 minutes, then remove from heat and bring to room temperature.

For the cocktail:
In a large pitcher, mix cooled blackberry syrup, tequila, Agavero Orange, and lime juice. Stir to combine.

In a shallow bowl, combine salt, sugar, and lime zest. Rim each glass with a lime wedge and dip into salt-sugar mixture.

Fill cups with crushed ice. Pour drink over ice and serve with extra lime wedges.
