Hello Darlings!
Blackberry just screams ‘summer.’ Add a splash of orange and
you have a really refreshing combination. Take that one more step and add gin
and you have a perfect summer party cocktail! This Blackberry-Orange Gin and
Tonic is one of those drinks that you can just throw together from items you
already have on hand in your liquor cabinet, and it takes just seconds to make!
Plus, you can’t beat the gorgeous jewel tones of blackberry in sparkling tonic,
making it a drink that is as gorgeous as it is tasty.
Ingredients:
1.5 Ounces Gin
1 Ounce Blackberry Liqueur
1 Ounce Cointreau
Tonic Water
Lemon Wedge
Instructions:
1. Add blackberry liqueur, gin, and Cointreau in a cocktail
shaker. Add ice and shake vigorously to combine.
2. Pour liquor mixture into a glass filled with ice.
3. Top the liquor mixture with tonic water.
4. Garnish with a lemon wedge!
5. Enjoy!
Next week, with the Autumn Equinox, is the last week of my
Summer Drink Series! I’d love to know what you’ve thought of it and if I should
continue creating cocktails (most likely every other week) in the fall!
Also, what summer drink would you like to see me play with
for the finale? Let me know in the comments below!
