On the Rocks: Blackberry Tom Collins.

For a short time after turning the ripe old age of 21, the Tom Collins was my drink of choice. Well, until the heartburn kicked in from the vast amounts of sour mix I was imbibing in. However, I’d be willing to sacrifice my esophagus for one of these oh-so-tasty looking Blackberry Tom Collins cocktails. And how refreshing, not a drop of sour mix in sight!

Ingredients:
– 3 lrg. Blackberries
– 1/2 oz Fresh Lime Juice
– 1 t Sugar
– 2 oz Gin
– 3-4 oz Club Soda

Put blackberries in a highball glass, add lime juice, and sugar and muddle (you know, smash it all together with a pestle or something similar). Add ice, then pour in gin and club soda. Stir, garnish with a couple cut blackberries if you’d like, and enjoy. Serves one.
