This wonderful recipe has been adapted from mom4real.com. We added our own simple syrup recipe to highlight our blackberry-ginger balsamic. It adds a nice touch of ginger to back end of this cocktail.

  • 1/2 ounce of fresh squeezed lime juice

  • 3/4 ounces of blackberry-ginger simple syrup

  • 3–4 fresh blackberries

  • 4–5 mint leaves

  • blackberries and a sprig of mint for garnish (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Add the lime juice, simple syrup, blackberries and mint leaves to a glass.

  • Muddle (smash) them together.

  • Fill glass with ice.

  • Top off with club soda and stir gently.
