- In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and blackberries. Bring to a boil, smashing the berries with a wooden spoon. Boil until the syrup thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Strain through a sieve if you don't want blackberry chunks.
- In a pitcher, combine the limeade or lemonade and the blackberry + mint syrup. Start with 1/2 cup of the syrup, and add more to taste. Stir in vodka, if using. Serve over ice with mint and blackberries for garnish.

- This syrup can be made with a variety of berries and herbs. So far, I have tried mint and basil with great results.
- While a loyal member of Team Limeade, I also have tried this syrup with lemonade and it tastes amazing!
- I occasionally use store-bought limeade, but now I typically make my own lemonade or limeade so I can control the sweetness.
