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
