Hi friends! I love a little summer cocktail, do you? I can't claim to be much of a bartender though. I am more of a “can you make a recommendation?” when I want something a little different. However, I decided one day to put some of my fear of mixing drinks aside and come up with my own fresh take on a summer cocktail.
One of my favorite summer berries is blackberries and since I had some on hand, that ‘s what I used to make this super simple syrup and summer cocktail.
Simple syrup is an essential sweetener for drinks and cocktails and it is very easy to make yourself. Don't be intimidated!
RECIPE:
1 oz blackberry syrup
2 oz of rum (of your choice)
1 oz of OJ
Mix in cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well to combine. Strain into glass filled with ice.
Enjoy! YUM!
I am considering lots of possibilities including vodka and club soda as well.
Any thoughts on combinations you'd like?
