Muddled Blackberry Gin Cocktail

We have been getting some fantastic blackberries recently, a wonderful combination of sweet, tart and juicy. With such juicy berries, we wanted a way to get that juice out of the berries while still keeping that sweet and tart characteristic, we decided to muddle the berries to release the juice and give the drink little sweet bits of fresh blackberry.

Pairing it up with a gin like Broker’s or Death’s Door makes the drink crisp and with just a hint of bitterness that balances out the sweetness of the berries.

What Ingredients do you Need for the Muddled Blackberry Gin Cocktail?

• Gin
• Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
• Blackberries
• Simple Syrup
• Ginger Beer

A splash of fresh squeezed lemon juice, simple syrup and a fresh lemon twist garnish brings a bright burst of lemon which pulls out the citrus notes of the gin and pairs up with the blackberries well. Topping the drink with ginger beer give the drink a sparkling spicy edge.
