Makes one cocktail
• 2 oz Gin
• .75 oz Blackberry syrup (recipe below)
• .75 oz Freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 3 dashes El Guapo® Summer Berries Bitters
• 1 Bar Spoon Orange blossom water
• Cava, to top
• Orange twist, for garnish
In a shaker filled with ice, combine gin, syrup, juice, water and bitters. Shake well, then strain into flute. Top with Cava. Garnish with orange twist before serving. CHEERS!
Blackberry Syrup
• 6 oz (1 pack) fresh Blackberries
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup water
Combine all ingredients in a heavy bottomed sauce pan and cook on medium-low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until syrupy, about 15 minutes. Let mixture cool, then purée and strain. If mixture becomes too thick to pour, thin with basic simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water). Extra syrup will keep refrigerated for up to two weeks if properly stored.
