Blackberry Martini
What makes this blackberry martini delicious is the blackberry syrup. The gin and rum with the pineapple juice gives a taste of the islands.
When I see blackberries go on sale, I know that I am in for a treat. I begin by making a fresh blackberry syrup. You can really taste the freshness of the blackberries. Don’t worry about making a simple syrup because it is super easy and worth the effort.
Blackberries are delicious with vodka. I was curious to see how well they played with gin and rum. I can tell you that I am looking forward to having another one of these soon.
The perfect balance for me in a cocktail is fruit, sweet and citrus. If I have those then I know it’s balanced. When I look forward to having the same cocktail again, I know I have a winner.
The color of this blackberry martini is a beautiful ruby color. The impact of seeing this martini at a special gathering will make your guests want to come back. shaken not stirred.
For this martini you need a shaker and jigger or measuring spoons. Lime squeezer because fresh juice makes the cocktail taste better. Your favorite martini glass and a fresh blackberry garnish.
