Berry Breeze

Mr. BrookCook searched for the perfect Mother’s Day cocktail and this was it. 🙂 Springy, tasty, and, in the vein of a Moscow Mule, topped with a splash of ginger beer. I loved it!

This cocktail recipe was adapted from Camille Austin of Hakkasan in New York City, via Town and Country magazine. It would also be perfect for the upcoming holiday weekend- and all summer long.

Yield: 1 drink

• 2 oz lemon vodka
• 4-5 blackberries
• .25 oz fresh lime juice
• ginger beer, to taste

4. Top with ginger beer, to taste.
5. Garnish with a lime wheel, a lime wedge, and/or blackberries. Serve.
