Notes
The drink works best with fresh blackberries during peak season (July-September). Frozen blackberries can work in a pinch.
Simple syrup can be made at home by mixing equal parts sugar and hot water until dissolved.
Store extra simple syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
For a non-alcoholic version, replace gin with tonic water or additional club soda.
