Blackberry Gin Fizz

It’s been a little while since I shared a cocktail recipe! I’ve been meaning to make this Blackberry Gin Fizz cocktail since I saw a version of it in the June issue of Cooking Light.

A “fizz” is a cocktail that includes an acidic juice (lemon or lime usually) and carbonated water. Fizzes typically also use egg whites in the recipe to add some extra froth on top.

I absolutely love gin fizzes, they are a perfect warm-weather drink. I used the Cooking Light recipe for a Blackberry Gin Fizz as a starting point, but adapted it slightly.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups fresh blackberries
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• the juice of 2 limes (~2 tablespoons)
• 10 tablespoon gin, divided
• 2 large pasteurized egg whites, divided
• 2 tablespoons half-and-half, divided
• 1 cup chilled club soda, divided
• Mint sprigs, optional

Add the berries and sugar in a small pot over medium heat.

Cook, stirring occasionally to release the juices from the berries, about 15 minutes.

Let cool and add to a blender or food processor. Process until completely blended.

Stir in the lime juice (this mixture will be pretty thick).

Add half of the blackberry mixture, 5 tablespoons gin, 1 egg white, and 1 tablespoon half-and-half to a cocktail shaker.

Shake very vigorously until frothy, about 15 seconds.

Divide evenly between two cocktail glasses.

Top each serving with 1/4 cup club soda; this will froth up quite a bit so pour carefully!

Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Garnish with mint sprigs if desired.
