Notes
If fresh blackberries are unavailable, feel free to substitute frozen blackberries. Thaw the berries slightly in the microwave or at room temperature before mixing the cocktail.
If making multiple drinks, feel free to use bottled lime juice. There are now good-quality bottled lime juices available at your local supermarket in the juice section.
