To prepare cocktails for four...
1/2 cup blackberries
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup lemonade
1 cup water
vodka or gin
lemon slices
mint
club soda
In a small saucepan, mash the blackberries with a fork, add sugar, lemonade and water. Heat until a mild simmer and then reduce heat for about 8-10 minutes. Strain the blackberry mixture through a mesh colander to reserve the juice - chill for about an hour. In a rocks glass, assemble ice, blackberry juice, 1-2 shots vodka or gin and top with club soda. Garnish with spanked mint and lemon.
