Happy Monday y’all! I hope none of you guys are judging me because I’m posting a cocktail on a Monday, but I love this drink so much I couldn’t wait to share it.
This drink is definitely a happy accident. I had had another idea for a drink that was similar and it just wasn’t coming together properly, so looking into my fridge I realized I had a ton of lemonade left from another drink and some gorgeous looking blackberries sitting pretty in there too.
Those were definitely my starting points, but I knew it needed a touch of one of my favorite things, a Gin and tonic, yummy! I will say if you are not at all a fan of Gin and tonics and think they’re not sweet enough for you, then this is the perfect cocktail for you.
The gorgeous blackberries mixed with the fresh lemonade is deliciously sweet but light tasting, and of course the tonic adds the bubbly and the Gin is my homie is just that perfect kick. Be careful with this one guys, you do not taste the alcohol at all, it just tastes like this wonderful summertime drink to sip by the pool–I’m not promoting public intoxication just so y’all know haha. Anyways, I hope you have a wonderful start to your week and thank you so much for stopping by!
