Ingredients
Scale
- Ice
- 3 oz gin
- 1 oz elderflower liquor, such as St. Germain
- 1 tbsp seedless blackberry jam
- 1 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
- soda or sparkling water
Instructions
- Combine gin, elderflower liquor, jam and lemon juice in a shaker with ice.
- Shake vigorously for 20-30 seconds to thoroughly chill and sightly dilute the cocktail.
- Strain into glasses and top each with a splash of soda or sparkling water.
Notes
- Shake the cocktail well for at least 20 seconds. This serves two purposes - making sure the drink is nice and cold since it is served without ice, and also slightly diluting the gin for a more balanced flavor.
- I think this cocktail is sweet enough with just the jam, but if you like a sweeter cocktail, feel free to add a splash of simple syrup or agave nectar.
- For a less stout cocktail, add a little more soda at the end.
- Use other flavors of jam for endless variations! You can also experiment with switching up the liqueur and citrus.
