Fresh Blackberry Gin and Tonic

A Blackberry gin and tonic is the perfect cocktail. Blackberries are a juicy and tart, playing beautifully with a botanical gin and a slightly sweet tonic.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ oz gin I like Hendricks
  • 4-6 oz tonic water
  • 1 tsp lime juice fresh
  • 4 blackberries fresh
  • crushed ice
  • Sprig of rosemary optional

Instructions

  • Add two blackberries to bottom of a glass, muddle until lightly mashed
  • Top with crushed ice and fresh lemon juice
  • Add the gin and add the tonic to fill the glass, leaving room for more ice if needed.
  • Mix well or serve as is with the fruit in the bottom (stir lightly to only mix the gin and tonic).
  • Garnish with blackberries and a sprig of rosemary (optional) and enjoy!

Notes

Use your favorite gin for this fresh cocktail. I like Hendrick's, Plymouth, or Roku!
If your ice maker doesn't make "the good ice" you can buy bags of it from Zaxby's or Sonic among other fast food places.
