During the hustle and bustle that is the holiday season, many of us could use a great cocktail to relax with. I created a recipe using delicious ripe blackberries with a touch of lime.
If you have trouble finding blackberry vodka where you live, if you plan ahead you can make it yourself as seen at A Thrifty Mrs, or you can substitute another blackberry liquor of your liking. Bottoms up!
1can lemon lime sodayou can substitute club soda if you like
1-2slicesof lime
pinchof lime zest + juice from one squeeze of a limedon't use ALL of the juice from a lime. Just one squeeze
1shot1.5 fl. ounce blackberry vodka (or other blackberry liquor)
optional: ice
for garnish: cocktail pick
Instructions
Add the clean blackberries to the bottom of the cocktail glass. (Remember to reserve a few for garnish)
Muddle the blackberries to break them up a bit. Pour a chilled can of lemon lime soda over the blackberries. Add the vodka and ice and gently stir.
Zest a small portion of the lime. Cut a few thin slices of lime. Add one to the side of the glass for garnish. Add a pinch of zest to the drink, along with one squeeze of remaining lime half. Use a cocktail pick to skewer the reserved blackberries and set on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately.
