If rimming glasses, rub a lime wedge around the rims and dip into salt or sugar. Set aside.
In a blender, combine cherries, tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and simple syrup.
Add a handful of ice and blend until smooth.
Pour into prepared glasses and garnish with a cherry or lime wedge if desired.
