We planted three blueberry bushes and one blackberry bush in our backyard.  Best decision we’ve ever made!  We also somehow have another huge voluntary blackberry bush pop up and even thought the blackberries are smaller, they are still yummy.  So faced with a surplus of blackberries, I did what I almost always do, looked for a way to drink them!

My daughter and her boyfriend were going to be stopping by for awhile on a Saturday afternoon.  I thought a pitcher of cocktails might be just the thing!  And, it was!!   This was so refreshing!  Sweet but not overly so, minty and citrusy.  Absolutely perfect for sitting out on the back porch and sipping an afternoon away!

I found this at Cooking Light – Blackberry Cocktail.  If you’re looking for some more blackberry cocktails:  Blackberry Mint Ginger Fizz and Blackberry Thyme Infused Vodka.
