Black Gin Rickey

About this Cocktail

Variant on an old classic for GIA in Greensboro, NC. Wanted a Rickey for the menu, but wanted to add an earthy quality and local touch. Blackberries grow wild just about everywhere in NC...made perfect sense.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 oz Hendricks Gin
• 3/4 oz Lime Juice
• 1/4 oz simple syrup
• Pinch of mint
• 3-4 Blackberries
