Summer brings the perfect chance to enjoy fresh, fruity cocktails, and the Blackberry Vodka Tonic is a top pick. The ripe blackberries meld beautifully with the crispness of tonic water, creating a refreshing balance. This drink pops with the tang of lime and a subtle sweetness, making it a favorite to serve. It’s quick to whip up, looks great in the glass, and always cools down the warm evenings. You’ll love how the flavors mix perfectly for a relaxing sip.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 8-10 Blackberries
- 2 ounces Vodka
- 4-6 ounces Tonic Water depending on taste
- 1 Lime half for juice and half for garnish
- Mint Leaves optional, for garnish
- 1 teaspoon Sugar optional, for muddling the blackberries
Instructions
- Prepare the Blackberries:
- In the cocktail shaker, muddle the blackberries with the sugar (if you’re using it) until you’ve broken them down into a juicy pulp. This releases their color and flavor, enhancing the drink.

- Squeeze the juice from half of the lime into the shaker.
- Add the vodka and a handful of ice.
- Shake well to mix all the ingredients thoroughly.
- Assemble the Drink:
- Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.
- Strain the mixture from the shaker over the ice in the glass, ensuring the seeds and the pulp are left behind.
- Top up the glass with tonic water. Adjust the amount of tonic based on how strong or light you prefer your drink.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Slice the remaining half of the lime into rounds or wedges.
- Garnish the drink with lime slices and a sprig of mint if desired.
- Give the drink a gentle stir before serving.
