Prepare 8 margarita glasses by moistening their rims with the lime wedge and turning the rims on a saucer in which you have mixed together the white sparkling sugar, kosher salt and ground red pepper.

Crush 1 1/2 cups of the Sun Belle golden berries and put them in a saucepan with the water and granulated sugar. Bring to a boil, cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes. Strain this syrup and let is cool. Stir in lime juice.
