Blackberry + Mint Limeade

Sunday Table

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.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Muddle Magic 🍹
Gently muddle blackberries and mint together to release maximum flavor and essential oils without crushing the herbs too aggressively.
Syrup Straining Technique 🧊
Use a fine-mesh strainer when creating the blackberry mint syrup to ensure a smooth, seed-free liquid with vibrant color and pure flavor.
Lime Juice Freshness 🍋
Always use freshly squeezed lime juice and roll limes on the counter before juicing to maximize juice extraction and flavor.
Chilling Perfection 🧊
Chill your glasses beforehand and use crushed ice to keep the limeade exceptionally cold and refreshing without diluting the flavors too quickly.
Garnish Like a Pro 🌿
Create an elegant garnish by freezing whole blackberries and mint leaves in ice cubes for a stunning and functional drink decoration.
