Equipment
- A shaker to mix everything smoothly.
- A strainer to catch any seeds or pulp.
- A muddler for crushing the blackberries.

Ingredients
The right ingredients make all the difference. Here’s what you’ll need:

Using fresh ingredients brings out the best flavors. Feel free to adjust sweetness by changing the simple syrup. 🍋
Instructions
Here’s how I mix this delightful cocktail:
- Muddle the blackberries in the shaker to release their juice.
- Add the gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
- Fill the shaker with ice and shake for about 10 seconds.
- Strain the mixture into a glass filled with crushed ice.

Notes
A few tips to make your cocktail even better:
If you prefer a sweeter drink, add extra simple syrup or blackberry liqueur.
Frozen blackberries can work if fresh ones aren’t available.
A sprig of mint can be added for extra freshness. 🌿
Don’t let the drink sit too long; it’s best enjoyed cold.
