{ad} There’s nothing I love more than a cocktail

{ad} There’s nothing I love more than a cocktail with a little sparkle in the summer, just like this Blackberry Vodka Spritzer!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This simple summer sip can be made in no time using just 5 ingredients: fresh summer blackberries, lime juice, pinch of sugar, @northernkeepvodka and tonic water. The combination of blackberries & lime goes perfectly with the crisp & slightly sweet notes of @northernkeepvodka . Just like the local blackberries, Northern Keep Vodka is made right here in Alberta using Canadian-sourced rye & winter wheat.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This cocktail is just waiting to be enjoyed in the sunshine! Cheers to sunny days ahead friends! Find the recipe below:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ingredients - Makes 1 cocktail:
1/4 cup blackberries (about 6)
¼ tsp sugar
1 tsp lime juice
1 1/2 oz Northern Keep Vodka
Ice
3-4 oz tonic water
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instructions:
1. In a cocktail shaker, muddle blackberries & sugar using a muddler (or the back of a wooden spoon) until blackberries are broken down and it’s a jam-like texture.
2. To the shaker add the lime juice, the Northern Keep Vodka and a handful of ice and shake for about 20-30 seconds until the cocktail shaker is frosty.
3. Fill a short cocktail glass with ice. Strain the cocktail into the glass and top with tonic water.
4. Garnish with blackberry & more lime if desired. Cheers & enjoy!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tip: Making more than one cocktail!? Just double or triple the recipe, muddling everything together in a cocktail shaker then follow with the rest of the steps and divide the cocktail into the number of glasses required.
