While a straight-up martini is always a classic, this Blackberry Mint Martini throws all convention out of the window using herbs, fresh fruit, and even some gingerale to create a fizzy cocktail that just hits the spot.

A fresh take on a classic martini recipe, this purple cocktail is bursting with blackberry mint flavour - the perfect summer cocktail for those fresh blackberries

For this recipe, you’re going to want to break out the bar kit if you have one, but it’s not essential to a delicious martini.

You’re going to want something to muddle (or “mash”) the blackberries and mint into the the gin and vermouth, and then something to strain the mashed bits out of the drink leaving just the flavor and color. (You can potentially use the ice to muddle the berries and mint if you give it a really healthy shake, however that will water down your drink.)

You can skip the gingerale, but I occasionally like adding it for something a bit more fun than a regular martini.

If you’re lucky enough to be making this cocktail recipe where blackberry gingerale is for sale, snap some up if you’d like to skip the blackberry muddling process.

This summer martini is best served ice cold to really let that blackberry-mint flavor shine.

Tip: I often order my liquor from Drizly because they have a quick delivery time (sometimes within 40 minutes) and no expensive mark-ups. Purchasing from them supports local retailers, too. You can order the Gin and Vermouth needed for this recipe from them.
