Blackberry Smash



Hi, friends! It's been a hot minute and it seems like I have a mile long list of recipes to share. We are definitely living in some strange times right now but we are all making the most of it around here. I never mind a little slow down from time to time so for that, I am thankful. I know that we will look back on this time with memories of precious family moments. If anything, it's taught us how to enjoy the little moment each day that much more. Not to mention the doodle is loving having all of his people home all day every day right now. 

The world seems to be coming together in all kinds of ways right now and I'm loving seeing all of the new thing that people are making and new skills they are trying. I knew that I was going to go all in on quarantine cocktail hour and have been having tons of fun mixing and matching what I have in my liquor cabinet and coming up with new simple syrups and fresh mixers. If anything, we have had weather that has been beyond amazing the past month and a half, making happy hours on the patio extra festive. It's my favorite time of year to sit out there and the weather has just been perfect.

I have been missing my girls nights and happy hours at some of my favorite happy hour spots in Charlotte and was really craving a blueberry smash from The Summit Room! I pulled up the cocktail menu and with a little tweaking, was inspired to recreate my own with some fresh blackberries I had on hand. The result was SMASHING and I'll for sure be making this again. I love the refreshing taste of the club soda but for added sweetness, I think that ginger beer would be a tasty addition.

BLACKBERRY SMASH

2 oz. vodka
1/2 oz. mint simple syrup
handful of fresh blackberrie
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/2 lime, juiced
club soda

In a cocktail glass, place 4-5 blackberries and muddle at the bottom of the glass. Top muddled blackberries with crushed ice  In a cocktail shaker, combine vodka, simple syrup, lemon juice, lime juice, and ice. Shake shake shake! Pour over muddles blackberries and ice and top with a little club soda. Garnish with blackberries and lemon rind

  3. Do you actually go out and see individuals splitting out with their BlackBerry? They're staying there in a room brimming with outsiders asking why they can't meet individuals, while their eyes and thumbs are having intercourse to their BlackBerry. mx player

  8. Though the European online gambling operators do have some French players on board, they are catering to a small portion of the potential French market. They need the licenses to operate in France so that they can advertise and promote their services in that country. Without this facility they will be unable to compete effectively with the licensed operators. Therefore they would be eagerly awaiting the decision of the Paris Court and later the approval of the bill by the Senate.

  15. Lý do hàng đầu nên lựa chọn nhà máy sản xuất mỹ phẩm uy tín thay vì lựa chọn 1 nhà máy vì giá rẻ: giá rẻ dẫn đến sản phẩm không đảm bảo chất lượng và hoàn toàn có thể ảnh hưởng tới người tiêu dùng, một đơn vị gia công giá rẻ cũng không thể đảm bảo được nguồn hàng ổn định cho bạn, và chắc chắn rằng khi bạn gặp các vấn đề về pháp lý thì họ cũng không thể đảm bảo hỗ trợ tốt nhất cho bạn.
