Blackberry Margaritas
Description
This will definitely become one of your favorite cocktails ever. It isn't too sweet or too sour, but just the perfect balance of sweet and sour. Make it a little in advance of when you want it since it will take a bit of time to strain.

Combine sugar and kosher salt in a dish. Cut lime into 9 wedges; rub rims of 4 glasses with 1 lime wedge. Dip rims of glasses in the salt/sugar mixture.
Combine water and 1/2 c. sugar in a microwave-safe glass measuring cup. Microwave on High for 2 1/2 minutes, stirring to dissolve sugar; cool.
Combine water/sugar syrup, tequila, Grand Marnier, lime juice and blackberries in a blender; process until smooth. Strain mixture through a cheesecloth-lined sieve over a pitcher; discard solids.
Serve over ice. Garnish with the remaining lime wedges and blackberries.
