Blackberry and basil may seem an odd pair, but this duo will win your taste buds in a heartbeat. Believe it or not, blackerries' sweet and slightly tart flavor goes well with basil's aromatic sweet and peppery flavor. Pair the two together and vodka, and you will get a drink that is refreshing and delicious. Plus, it doesn't take too much time to make.



So how do you make this tasty cocktail?

Ingredients:

  • 3-4 blackberries

  • 1.5 oz. vodka

Instructions to Make Blackberry Basil Smash:

1. First step is to muddle the blackberries and basil in a shaker. (Don't have a muddler? You can get our copper plated cocktail muddler.)  Muddle until you smell the blackberry and basil.

 
2. Next step is to combine all the liquid ingredients - lime juice, simple syrup and vodka into the shaker. Then, add ice and shake.

3. Pour all the contents directly into your glass (you don't need to use a strainer). Garnish your creation with blackberries and basil leaf, and you are done!

  • Simple, delicious, enjoyable and relaxing!! I used to enjoy a mixer by Powell and Mahoney but I can no longer find it to buy. This fresh mixer is wonderful but I wish they would consider offering the prepared mixer again. Much easier but this is fine too!! Thanks!
