Mocktail Monday with A Blackberry Moment

When I get back from a trip, I try to reset. I want to get my body back into work and life mode. Usually I still crave a cocktail, so I make a mocktail to help my brain feel special but also not drink alcohol. This blackberry drink is pretty and light to drink. A little dark bubbly drink to be a beacon for your Monday vibes. It also pulls in the blackberry obsession that summer provides.
