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!
