Servings: 1 serving
Equipment
- Muddler
- Tall glass
- Jigger
- Bar spoon
Ingredients
- 1½ oz Smirnoff Red White & Berry Vodka
- ½ cup fresh mixed berries strawberries, blueberries, raspberries
- 8 –10 fresh mint leaves
- ¾ oz fresh lime juice
- ½ oz simple syrup to taste
- Soda water to top
- Ice
For garnish:
- Fresh mixed berries
- Fresh mint sprig
- Lime wheel
Instructions
- Add the fresh berries and simple syrup to a tall glass. Muddle firmly until the berries are fully broken down.
- Add the mint, Smirnoff, and lime juice to the glass. Fill the glass with ice and top with soda water. Give it 2 to 3 gentle stirs to combine.
- Garnish with fresh mixed berries, a sprig of mint, and a lime wheel on the rim. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Muddle the berries firmly but not aggressively, you want them fully broken down without pulverizing the seeds, which can add bitterness.
- Slap the mint leaves between your hands before adding them to release more aroma and flavor without bruising them too much.
- Use fresh lime juice only, bottled juice won't give you the same bright, clean finish this drink relies on.
- Top with soda water last and stir gently so you don't lose the carbonation and bubbles.
