    Muddled Blackberry Gin & Tonic

    May 9, 2022 ·

    Spring is the perfect time to try out new gin cocktails, and this Muddled Blackberry Gin & Tonic is a delicious way to celebrate the season. The sweet blackberries are a perfect complement to the juniper-forward flavor of gin, and the tangy tonic and lime help to balance out the sweetness. Made by simply combining blackberries, gin, lime, and tonic in a glass and garnishing with a sprig of rosemary!

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    What tonic goes with blackberry gin?

    I used Hendrick's gin because I think it has a lighter flavor profile with hints of juniper that are far less prominent than other gins, but it still shines in an appealing way when combined with the blackberry, lime, and tonic.

    Are Blackberries Acidic?

    The simple answer is yes – blackberries are considered to be slightly acidic. In general, blackberries are slightly more acidic than other fruits such as apples and bananas, but less acidic than citrus fruits such as lemons and oranges.

    What are The Benefits of Blackberries?

    There are many benefits to blackberries. They are a good source of vitamins C and K, as well as fiber. Blackberries also contain antioxidants, which can help to protect against some diseases. In addition, blackberries are low in calories and fat, making them a healthy snack choice. Furthermore, blackberries can be used in a variety of recipes, from berry pies, and blackberry jams to smoothies and salads.
