images via oomph.

does this cocktail look pretty or what? sometimes you want to add a new spin on an old goodie and sometimes you add that spin with some fruit. this weekend, try pairing this pre- dinner sipper with a selection of savory shortbread cookies, like the Gorgonzola & Pistachio ones from the Coach House Shortbread Company. 

The What:

• 1 highball glass
• 1 oz gin
• muddler or fork
• 1/4 cup blackberries (a few extra for decor)
• cranberry juice
• tonic for topping up
• 1 bay leaf for visual appeal

throw your blackberries in the bottom of your highball glass and use your muddler or fork to crush the berries. next measure out and pour in all the ingredients listed above . then place a few extra blackberries on a skewer and top with a bay leaf. now sit back and enjoy!
