THE BLACK WIDOW SMASH

Sparkling blackberries with rosemary, lemon, a couple dashes of orange bitters, tequila, and topped off with sparkling water, for a bit bit of fizz. It’s both eerie and warming, ideal for the cool nights in advance.

It’s been a favourite ever since the day I made it. So i used to be glad to have an excuse to remake it come October. This drink is ideal because it’s so smooth to combine up, I have already got the whole thing reachable.

Here’s how you make it. spoil up some sparkling blackberries, in conjunction with a pinch of rosemary, some lemon, tequila (or mezcal, that is a pleasant smoky choice), and a dash of orange bitters. upload sparkling water (ginger beer could be scrumptious right here too) and completed.

INGREDIENTS

• 8 fresh blackberries, plus more for topping
• 1-2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, plus a sprig for serving
• Juice from half of a lemon
• 1-2 tablespoons honey
• 1 1/2 - 2 ounces tequila or Mezcal
• a couple dashes of orange bitters
• sparkling water, for topping

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a cocktail shaker or glass jar, add blackberries, rosemary, lemon juice and honey. muddle all of the substances together, squishing the whole lot to launch the juices. add the tequila and orange bitters. 
2. Add ice to your glass and pressure the drink over the ice. pinnacle the glass with a little more ice, pour the sparkling water over, and lightly stir to mix. Garnish with fresh rosemary. DRINK!
