Blackberry and Meyer Lemon Gin and Tonics

The good thing about gin and tonics and that the base of the drink is already there: gin, and tonic. You can add pretty much anything you want to this drink and it will be yummy. I add raspberries a lot, sometimes blueberries or basil, and sometimes-just mint. Whatever I have extra of really. This however has been by far my favorite flavor collaboration. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did! Blackberry and Meyer Lemon Gin and Tonics Serves 4 Ingredients: 12 blackberries 20 fresh mint leaves 2 Meyer lemons (can sub. regular lemons) 1/4 cup simple syrup 12 ounces good quality gin tonic water ice Directions: 1. Set out four high ball glasses. 2. Place 3 blackberries, 5 mint leaves, juice of ½ lemon, and 1 tablespoon simple syrup in each glass and muddle together. 3.
