Description
This cocktail is an “I wish it was summer already” Blackberry Bramble. While blackberries are not exactly in season, they are widely available at most grocery stores and you can also use frozen berries instead of fresh. We muddle the blackberries in a shaker, add some gin, lemon juice, and a splash of maple syrup, shake it up, and that’s that. It is refreshing, bright, and so delicious. (Not to mention, easy on the eyes!) And if you’re not in the drinking mood, swap out the gin for sparkling water for the perfect weekend mocktail.
