In a cocktail shaker add the 6 blackberries and 3 thyme sprigs, then muddle these well together
pushing the blackberries so they burst and break down. Then into the same shaker add the tequila,
agave and lime juice. Fill the shaker half full of ice, then pop the lid on and shake really well for a
minute.
