It’s 5 o’clock somewhere! There’s nothing better than an ice cold, refreshing drink to end your day. I recently stumbled upon the mint-fusion cocktail recipe from Tommy at ThePelicanStyle.com and I had to share! It is the perfect southern inspired drink for the summer. The original recipe calls for several local ingredients found in Charleston ( even better) but if you’re not local to the area you can still have a bit of the south with your own home ingredients!
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Dixie Southern Vodka
- 1 small handful fresh blackberries
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 small bunch of mint leaves
- 1 lemon
- 4 ounces of Cannonborough Craft Soda ginger Ale
Directions
- In saucepan, bring blackberries & honey to slow boil stirring frequently. Reduce heat to simmer, mashing blackberries as they soften to ensure they are fully mixed with the honey until a syrup has formed.
- In a cocktail shaker, muddle the juice of 1 lemon wedge, 2 mint leaves, and Dixie Southern Vodka.
- Add syrup in shaker and continue to mix.
- Add ginger ale and mix once again.
- Serve over ice and garnish with mint leaves and lemon.
No cocktail is complete without a fun glass and accessories to match which can all be found at SweetTeaHostess.com!
