I just love this drink in any form. It’s so refreshing. Blackberries and gin is one of my favorite combinations. Possibly more than gin and cucumber! I have mixed this and left it as a drink with ice cubes and macerated fruit. I also love to blend and drink it as a slushie on a hot day.

Reviews
Lovely fresh drink! I added some maraschino liqueur and used truvia for the sugar. Love this!
Neither my husband nor I liked this one. The flavors were just off. And maybe my blender wasn’t strong enough but the fruit had a thick chunky texture to it.
This is a summer staple in our house, it’s light and refreshing. I usually use frozen blueberries or mango and sometimes add fresh mint. It’s easy to adjust to taste and great for dinner parties or BBQs.
It was ok. I think it requires a lot more ice than the recipe calls for.
