In the Glass: Blackberry Vodka Tonic

This simple summer cocktail comes together with just a few ingredients, letting the fresh blackberries take the spotlight. Mix it directly in a highball glass and enjoy the colorful layered effect.

INGREDIENTS

  • 3-4 fresh blackberries

  • 2 oz vodka (we prefer Barr Hill)

  • 1 tbsp simple syrup

  • 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 4-6 oz tonic water, to taste

  • Optional: lemon slice and rosemary for garnish

Muddle the fresh blackberries in the bottom of the highball glass. Fill the glass with ice, then pour in vodka, simple syrup, lemon juice, and tonic water. Add the lemon wedge and garnish with a sprig of rosemary. Stir with a straw or spoon to combine.
