Ginger Beer Cocktails
Ginger beer cocktails are my favorite. It makes a great mixer and I use it in place of tonic water for a lot of cocktails. I love the flavor of ginger, the slight bit of heat that you get. I love the bubbles. Because sparkling cocktails always feel like a party, don't they?
Blackberry and Mint Cocktails
The other thing I love using in cocktails is fruit! Why not make your cocktails a smidgen healthier, right?! It's especially good for fruits that come in those very little plastic containers and seem to cost a fortune - blackberries and raspberries. A cocktail is a great way to spread around a little fruit, share the love.
Adding mint to cocktails in summer is a no brainer. First of all, if you grow mint, you have a lot of it. Might as well use it in a cocktail, right? Second, it makes cocktails so refreshing.
Blackberry Ginger Fizz
So, now that I've convinced you that you need to make this cocktail, let's get to it!
First you're going to fill your favorite cocktail glass with ice. Then in a cocktail shaker, you're going to muddle the fruit, mint, simple syrup, and vodka.
Strain into the cocktail glass and top with ginger beer and garnish.
Drink. Enjoy. (You didn't really need me to tell you these last steps, did you?)

I just stumbled upon this recipe. Funny!! I have been on a kick of a drink I “made” up and it is this!! The only thing different, I use gin instead of vodka. BUT when I’m out of gin I use vodka. It is so refreshing and drinkable. A little too drinkable.

Ooooh yum! I'm not a huge fan of ginger beer, so I may stick with ginger ale for this one. But I loooooove using fresh fruit in cocktails, too. Will have to add this to my cocktail list to try later!
