Notes
Pro Tips
- Use ripe, juicy blackberries for the best flavor. If fresh ones aren’t available, frozen blackberries can work as a substitute.
- For a more pronounced spice, add a small pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the cocktail before shaking.
- Chill your sparkling water before adding it to maintain the effervescence of the drink.
