Ingredients

Blackberries: Blackberries give this cocktail the perfect blend of tart and sweet!
Vodka or gin: I’ve made this cocktail with both and it is great with either one! The gin changes the flavor more than the vodka, but they both work very well with this cocktail!
Ginger beer (diet or regular): This gives the cocktail a spicy kick to balance out the blackberry flavor!
Limes: Add a nice tart flavor to this cocktail with a splash of lime.
Dry ice or ice: Dry ice will give this beautiful smoke you see pictured! Details on how to handle/where to find dry ice below.

Where can I buy dry ice?

In most major grocery stores in a separate freezer next to the regular ice. Just ask at the cash register!

How do I handle dry ice?

Do not touch! I drop the block of dry ice (in a bag) on the ground to break into chunks, and take out pieces with tongs. Dry ice sinks to the bottom of the drink and creates the smoky effect. Feel free to look up any other handling/safety tips.

Instructions

Crush blackberries into a blackberry puree, then place in shaker with vodka or gin and lime juice.
Shake these ingredients (with ice if not using dry ice).
Optional: If you prefer to not have little pieces of blackberries in your drink, strain the cocktail into your glass.
Add ginger beer to glass.
Add dry ice and serve!
