Instructions
If a salted glass is desired, rim a glass with lime juice then sea salt.
Using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon, muddle the berries, basil, and Cointreau in a cup or small bowl.
Place the muddled berries and basil in a strainer over a small bowl and strain (you may need to use a spoon to push all the liquid through).
In a cocktail shaker, shake together the liquid from the blackberries and basil along with the tequila, agave syrup, lime juice, and ice until cold.
Pour into the salted glass with ice. Garnish with any extra basil or blackberries, if desired.
