Instructions
  1. 1

    Muddle the berries

    Drop the blackberries and lemon juice into a shaker and muddle them into a juicy, pulpy mess. This is where all the color and flavor comes from, so really work them over.

  1. 2

    Shake it up

    Fill the shaker with ice, then add the gin, blackberry liqueur, and simple syrup. Cap it and shake hard for about 15 seconds until it's cold and frothy.

  2. 3

    Strain and top

    Fill a rocks glass with fresh ice, crushed if you've got it. Double-strain the mix over the top to catch the seeds, then top with a splash of sparkling water.

  3. 4

    Garnish and serve

    Drop a couple of blackberries on top, add a twist of lemon and a sprig of mint, and serve right away while it's ice cold.

Notes & Tips

This is basically summer in a glass. The blackberry liqueur deepens the color and adds a little richness, but it's totally optional. Skip it and just add a touch more simple syrup to taste. No gin? Vodka works fine here too. Mocktail swap: leave out the gin and liqueur, top with a little more sparkling water or a splash of ginger ale, and you've got a gorgeous sparkling blackberry lemonade that looks just as good on the table.
