Heat the raspberries, sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Continue to heat for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally and pressing on the raspberries to release their juices.
Once the sugar has completely dissolved, remove the syrup from the stove and strain out the raspberry chunks.
Run a lime wedge around the edge of the margarita glass. Press the edge of the glass into salt, gently rolling to make it stick.
Add the raspberry simple syrup, tequila, lime juice and Cointreau to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well for 15 to 20 seconds until the outside is frosted.
