Mezcal and Blackberry Cocktail

Ingredients

• 6-8 fresh ripe blackberries depending on size
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary
• 1/2 lemon juiced
• 1.5 oz mezcal or silver tequila
• Sparkling water
• Honey to taste

Instructions

1. In a cocktail shaker, add around 6-8 blackberries, rosemary and lemon juice. Using the back of a spoon or muddler, muddle the ingredients together to release the juices of the blackberries.
2. Once muddled, add the tequila and honey (I used just a drop because I don’t love my cocktails sweet but this is up to your preference).
3. Add ice to a cocktail glass and after shaking the shaker well, strain the drink into the glass. Finish with sparkling water and gently stir with a straw to combine. I garnished with a fresh blackberry and another sprig of rosemary.
