DRINK

BLACKBERRY MULE

A bit fruity, a tad spicy, with round honey notes of Ballantine’s 12 to ground it, this drink proves that cocktails that kick like a mule can be sweet too.

INGREDIENTS

  • 50ml Ballantine’s 12
  • 10ml sugar syrup
  • 10ml lime juice
  • 1 dash of Angostura bitters
  • Ginger beer
  • Blackberries
  • Lime wedge
  • Crushed ice

HOW TO MAKE IT

  • Grab a mug of your choice (metal works best!) and add 3-4 fresh blackberries. Muddle gently with the back of a spoon to bruise and release the juices.
  • Add the Ballantine’s 12, sugar syrup, lime juice and Angostura bitters.
  • Add crushed ice and top with ginger beer.
  • Garnish with more blackberries and a wedge of lime for the perfect summer cocktail.
