Instructions

1. Combine the blackberries, sugar, water and sliced chilli in a saucepan and stir.
2. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Once the berries have softened, mash them with a potato masher into a thin jam.
3. Keep cooking over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring now and then, until the syrup thickens slightly.
4. Pour the hot syrup through a fine-mesh sieve over a large bowl, pressing out as much juice and pulp as possible and discarding the seeds.
5. Stir the syrup and chill it in the refrigerator or freezer.
6. Wash the limes. Soak them in cold water with a few tablespoons of baking soda for 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse.
7. Halve the limes and squeeze out the juice. Strain it if you want it pulp-free.
8. Pour the chilled syrup into a large pitcher. Add the lime juice, 1½ cups, 2 cups of tequila, ½ cup triple sec and mix well.
9. Chill the margarita mix in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.
10. For the sugared rim, combine ½ cup sugar with a few teaspoons of sea salt in a shallow bowl.
11. Moisten the glass rim with a lime wedge and dip it into the sugar and salt mixture.
12. For 2 cocktails, shake 1 cup ice with 1 cup margarita mix vigorously for a few minutes, then pour into the glasses. Garnish with lime wedges, berries and chilli slices as you like.
