When I was younger, my “club” drink was a vodka cranberry bar lime.
It’s been awhile since I had any, so I was super excited to experiment with new recipes once I got this beautiful bottle of Belvedere in the mail. The limited edition bottles are a part of the (RED) Campaign, with proceeds going to various charities.
This recipe was inspired by my 20-year-old’s go-to drink. Instead of cranberry & lime, it is blackberry & lemon – a wee bit grown up ๐ I thought of doing a “fresh” drink because the food we eat during the holidays are so heavy! And it is perfect because blackberries are in season and the colour comes out a beautiful vibrant red!
You will need (serves 4 glasses):
Belvedere vodka
water
simple syrup (sugar + water mix)
1/2 pint of fresh blackberries
2 large lemons (will make about 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice)
Tip: If you mix the blackberry puree, water & simple syrup it will be easier to serve this in batches. Your guests can just add how much vodka they’d like ๐
Ta-da! Perfectly refreshing and in season ๐
Disclosure: This bottle of Belvedere was sent to me for review and in to help me put together this holiday drink recipe. That’s it! Recipe and opinion are allll mine, baby.
This looks so good! I can’t wait to try it.
OMG, I have to try this. It looks amazing!
