Ingredients
For the blackberry lime ice cubes
- 1 1/2 cups blackberries (about 6oz/170g container)
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 3 tbsp honey or sugar
- 1 cup water
For a blackberry vodka drink
- 1 oz vodka
- 2 oz sparkling beverage of choice (prosecco or sparkling rosé)
- club soda or sparkling water
Instructions
- Blend all of the simple ingredients for the ice cubes together until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a small bowl if you desire less blackberry seeds in the ice cubes.
- Then, pour the mixture into an ice cube tray and freeze. Makes 12-14 ice cubes.
- To make a cocktail, add 2-3 ice cubes to a rocks glass or your favourite cocktail glass. Then, add vodka and pour over your desired sparkling beverage. Give it a quick stir, top off with sparkling water or club soda and garnish with fresh mint sprigs, lime wedges or slices and florals if desired and enjoy!
Notes
- Prosecco, Cava or a Sparkling Rosé will all work in this recipe. However, each will bring a slightly different taste to the cocktail. If you like a sweeter cocktail, try to find a sparkling rosé that has a fruitier profile. If you like a more refreshing cocktail with less sweetness, try prosecco, cava or a more dry sparkling rosé.
- Make these ice cubes a few days ahead of a gathering. Then all you need to do is have vodka, a sparkling beverage and garnishes on hand to make easy cocktails for your guests.
- Want to make this a mocktail? Add a few of the blackberry ice cubes to a glass and top with club soda, tonic, ginger soda or soda water. You could even try a berry or lime flavoured sparkling water!
