Rich berries, fresh mint, and smooth moonshine come together in this vibrant cocktail that's as good to look at as it is to drink. The natural sweetness of blackberries softens the bold character of Herrick Creek Original Moonshine, while fresh lemon keeps everything balanced.
It's a fantastic late-summer cocktail when berries are in season, but frozen blackberries work just as well, making this an easy favourite all year round.
