Servings 1 person
Ingredients
- 5 fresh blackberries
- 5 fresh mint leaves whole
- 1 oz fresh lime juice about one medium lime
- ½ oz simple syrup or more as needed
- 1 handfull ice
- 4 oz sparkling water, club soda, or lime seltzer or more as needed
Instructions
- Grab a highball glass (or wide mouth mason jar), and muddle the blackberries until they’re broken down. You can use the back of a wooden spoon to crush the blackberries if you don’t have a muddler.
- Next add the whole mint leaves and press on them 2-3 times, just enough to release the flavor and keep the leaves intact, you don’t want to totally crush or chop them (this makes the mint leaves taste bitter).
- Add the lime juice and simple syrup. Give it a gentle stir.
- Fill your glass with ice.
- Top the drink with sparkling water, give it another very gentle stir.
- Garnish with fresh blackberries and/or a sprig of fresh mint leaves.
