Blackberry Collins

What’s the drink?

This blackberry cocktail is basically a blackberry version of the classic Tom Collins cocktail, similar to a blackberry bramble.

It’s a classic refreshing drink made of gin, lemon juice, sugar or simple syrup and club soda or carbonated soda water. Our blackberry Tom Collins is a fruitier version made with muddled fresh blackberries. The natural sweetness and flavor of the fresh blackberries is fantastic.

Ingredients

3 Fresh Blackberries
½ teaspoon Sugar
1½ parts Vodka
½ part St-Germain
1½ parts Fresh Cranberry Juice
Top with Club Soda

Muddle the blackberries and sugar together in a Collins glass.

Shake the Vodka, St-Germain and Cranberry juice with ice and strain mixture into a Collins glass over fresh ice. Top with soda.

The Mistletoe Martini is ready for the holidays. A cocktail created to capture the spirit of the season. The Mistletoe Martini blends the flavors of cranberry and elderflower. Because it uses a light fruit juice instead of all heavy liqueurs, the flavor is refreshing.
