Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen or fresh berries
  • 1⁄3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup Sleeping Beauty Herbal Tea Blend, steeped
  • 1 tbsp Berry Simple Syrup
  • 1⁄4 cup or 2 oz. gin
  • tonic water, to taste
  • extra berries, for garnish (optional)

Preparation

  1. For syrup: in small saucepan, combine berries, sugar, tea, and lemon. Bring to a boil, stirring often; reduce heat and simmer until berries break apart, about 5 min. Press through a fine mesh sieve; discard solids. Cool syrup before using, about 30 minutes. (Make ahead: refrigerate up to 1 week.)
  2. For each cocktail, fill glass with ice cubes. Mix together 1 tbsp Berry Simple Syrup with gin; pour over ice and top with tonic. Garnish with berry skewers, if desired.

Tips
