Twas a Blackberry Party

Mocktail

Ingredients

Four Blackberries (muddled)

1 oz Lime juice

1 oz Ginger Simple Syrup

Top with Sparkling Water

Garnish: Blackberries

Recipe: In a cocktail shaker, muddle blackberries and simple syrup. Add ice then add lime juice. Shake and double strain into a coupe glass. Top with sparkling water. Garnish with blackberries.

Ginger Simple Syrup: When you make the simple syrup you start with two things: one part sugar and one part water. For the ginger, first wait for the sugar to start to melt in the pan with the water. Then add ginger slices (take a ginger root and slice pieces either rounds or long) and let it sit for a bit. For future use, put into a mason jar. The ginger flavor will be stronger the more that it sits.
