Blackberry Limoncello Gin Smash

This easy summer gin cocktail features sweet blackberries, tart limoncello, and floral gin. The result is a beautifully-colored drink that's wonderful for sipping on warm evenings all season long.

Ingredients

  • 6 large, juicy blackberries
  • 1.5 oz gin
  • 1 oz limoncello
  • Few oz tonic water, optional
  • Few additional blackberries for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a cocktail shaker, muddle the blackberries thoroughly.
  2. Add the gin and limoncello, then shake well with ice.
  3. Using a fine-mesh strainer (critical for removing all the blackberry seeds and pulp), pour into a highball glass with ice OR a chilled coupe or martini glass.
  4. If using a highball glass with ice, top the cocktail with a few oz of tonic water.
  5. Garnish with a few additional blackberries.
