Blackberry Gin Basil Smash

This is my non-alcoholic version of a Gin Basil Smash but I added Blackberries to brighten it up more. The Gin Basil Smash is actually a riff on the Whiskey Smash which uses whiskey, simple syrup, lemon, and mint (perhaps a reel for later? 🤔). Hope you enjoy this refreshing mocktail!

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Non-Alcoholic Gin (I used @drinkfreespirits )
• 1 oz Basil Simple Syrup
• 0.75 oz Lemon Juice
• 6 Blackberries
• 6 Basil Leaves
• Club Soda

Instructions:

1. In a shaker glass, muddle blackberries and basil syrup together.
2. Add non-alcoholic gin and lemon juice.
3. Give your basil a slap and add to the shaker. 
4. Add ice and shake for 12-14 seconds.
5. Strain into a fancy glass full of ice.
6. Top with club soda.
7. Garnish with a blackberry and some basil leaves.

Cheers! 🍹⚡️
