Place cherries, sugar, and water in a sauce pan. Simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and place in a food processor. Blend till smooth. Strain with a fine mesh strainer over a medium bowl. You will need to use a spatula to move the cherries around and press the puree into the sides. You will be left with very little solids. Pour into a jar and allow the puree to cool for about 45 minutes before using it.

Run a lime around the lip of 4 -8 oz glasses. Pour a little salt on to a plate and dip the glass into the salt. Add ice to the 4-8 oz glasses. Add 2 oz tequila, 1 ½ Tbl syrup, 3 oz margarita mix to each glass. Stir to combine.

Garnish with a lime wedge and tart cherries.
