    Why you’ll love this recipe

    • Fresh and bright: This drink is made with fresh muddled berries and lemon juice. Making it a delicious drink to sip on a hot day!
    • Adaptable: Although this is a blackberry drink, you can use raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries as well!

    If you haven't heard of a Blackberry Wish Cocktail, well I made this one up based on a cocktail I had while in Memphis. It was so fresh and delicious and really was a Blackberry Bramble of sorts.

    I knew blackberries were in season locally and I just had to try to recreate this one at home. We have a great source of berries in my home town with Wish Farms.

    Really it's always Berry Season with Wish Farms. Can you believe they were founded in 1922 and are third-generation owned?  They are a year-round supplier of strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries with growing regions throughout the USA, Canada, and South America.

    That’s a long time to be in the berry business!  They pride themselves in Quality, Consistency, Flavor, and growing berries that are memorable.

    Since blackberries were just what I needed to recreate this I was thankful for such a fresh and delicious product grown locally.

    FAQ's

    How to make homemade simple syrup?

    Combine equal parts water and granulated sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, while stirring until dissolved and water turns clear. Remove from heat and let cool.

    Do I need to strain the blackberries or cocktail?

    I prefer to leave all the little bits in my cocktail. I enjoy the texture and flavor. However, you can strain the cocktail with the shaker strainer if you prefer.

    What is a bramble cocktail?

    The bramble is a cocktail created in the 1980's in London, by Dick Bradsell.
    It has sweet and sour tones and is traditionally made with dry gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, a Creme Liqueur, and crushed ice.

    • Fresh Fruit really does add brightness to this cocktail. If you have fresh local grown fruit use it and you will see a big difference.
    • If you are unable to get fruit in season frozen berries are a great substitute so you can enjoy this cocktail year round.
