Ingredients

For the ice

Juice of 2 limes
40 ml
simple syrup
Edible glitter

For the rim

30 g
sugar
20 g
flaky sea salt
5 g
basil, torn

For the cocktails

200 ml
silver tequila
100 ml
triple sec
50 ml
creme de cassis
50 ml
simple syrup
100 g
blackberries, crushed

Directions

1. Step 1For the ice cubes, divide the lime juice and syrup between the ice cube moulds. Top up with water until full and spritz with edible glitter. Freeze for at least 6hrs or overnight until solid.
2. Step 2To make the sugar rim, put the sugar, salt and basil into a mini chopper or food processor. Pulse a few times until the herbs are very finely chopped and combined.
3. Step 3Wipe the rims of four margarita glasses with a wedge of lime to wet. Put the herby mixture onto a plate and dip the rims of the glasses to coat.
4. Step 4Remove the ice cubes and put one into the centre of each glass. Add the cocktail ingredients to a large cocktail shaker with a handful of ice, or to a jug. Shake or stir until icy cold and strain evenly into the glasses. Dust the top of the cocktails with some extra edible glitter if you’d like.
