Ingredients
- ½ cup fresh blackberries
- 2 oz vodka
- 1 oz lemon juice
- 1 oz simple syrup
- Ice
- Extra berries for garnish
Instructions
Mash the blackberries
- Place berries in a bowl. Press them gently with a muddler until they release juice and become soft and pulpy.
Add the liquids
- Pour vodka, lemon juice, and simple syrup into a shaker. Add the mashed berries and mix everything well.
Add ice to the shaker
- Fill the shaker with ice cubes. The ice chills the drink and blends the flavors smoothly in seconds.
Shake very well
- Shake the mixture for 15 seconds. This helps mix the berry juice with the vodka and gives a smooth taste.
Strain into a glass
- Pour the drink through a fine strainer into a martini glass. This removes seeds and gives a clean, smooth drink.
Garnish and serve
- Add a few blackberries on top for color. Serve cold and enjoy the rich berry flavor in every sip.
Notes
- Use fresh blackberries for the best flavor.
- Add more simple syrup if you want a sweeter drink.
- Add more lemon juice if you want a brighter taste.
- Shake the drink well to blend the berry juice smoothly.
- Chill the glass first for a cold and crisp sip.
