What is this you may ask? This is just the #sneakiest of #sneak #preview of my #mural almost ready for #unveiling for #tomorrow night #opening #reception of “Origins” from 6-9 at the Crane Arts Building, part of Second Thursday Crane Receptions! Can’t wait to see everyone there! Of course there will be #free #refreshments like #wine
5 oz lime-flavored silver tequila (or any tequila you prefer)
2 oz triple sec or Grand Marnier (any orange liqueur you prefer)
Honey, agave, or simple syrup, to taste (I start with 1 tablespoon and add as necessary)
Berry or lime seltzer, for topping off the glasses
Salt, for rimming the glasses
Additional blackberries and/or limes, for garnishing the glasses
INSTRUCTIONS:
In a small bowl, combine the blackberries, juice of 1 lime, and sugar. Mash with a spoon or muddler, so that most of the blackberry juices are released and there are no large chunks of berry. Set aside for 5 minutes while you prep the other ingredients.
Rim serving glasses with a cut lime and then dip in salt. Fill the glasses with ice. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of the macerated berry mixture into each glass.
To a shaker filled with ice, add the tequila, orange liqueur, juice of the remaining lime, and sweetener of choice (I like agave). Shake vigorously for a few seconds and then pour into the glasses.
Top each glass off with a splash of seltzer and serve immediately.
