This cocktail captures the essence of the classic Gin and Tonic but takes things a step further with the addition of the delicious blackberry syrup, which is sweet, rich and fruity. It really complements the gin in this drink and the blackberry flavour is intensified by reducing the blackberries with sugar. This refreshing drink is cool, smooth and beautifully hued with the colour of the fruit. It’s served in a goblet glass and garnished with a fragrant rosemary sprig.
