Blackberry Fizz

When summer rolls around I tend to move from my standard “girly” martinis and drink more cocktails in tall glasses that are refreshing and full of ice.  I can’t tell you enough how much I’m really loving this Blackberry Fizz cocktail. It’s a perfect summertime drink!

I like blackberries, but their seeds…not so much.  So for this Blackberry Fizz I decided I’d make a simple syrup with blackberries and tarragon (a great flavor combo). A flavored simple syrup like this is a great way to make drinks when you have a party and don’t want to spend your time muddling the components for each drink every single time.  Just make up a batch of the flavored syrup in the morning, then when it comes time to make cocktails, all you have to do is add ice, syrup and alcohol to a glass.  Easy peasy.

I tried making this drink with both vodka and rum.  You know what?  It’s fantastic with both!  So I recommend you choose whichever one you prefer.

I’m on a kick of combining fruit and herbs and can’t wait to try more!  What’s your favorite fruit/herb combination?
