Ingredients

- 3 oz ginger beer
- 1 oz blackberry puree

Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 2 oz of dark rum, 3 oz of ginger beer, 1 oz of blackberry puree, and ice. Make sure you have a glass ready for serving.
- Start by filling a cocktail shaker or a glass with ice to chill the drink.
- Pour 2 oz of dark rum over the ice. This will be the base of your cocktail, giving it a rich, deep flavor.
- Add 1 oz of blackberry puree to the glass. If you don’t have blackberry puree, you can make your own by blending fresh blackberries until smooth and straining to remove the seeds.
- Slowly pour 3 oz of ginger beer into the glass. This will add a refreshing spice and effervescence to the drink.
- Gently stir the mixture with a spoon to combine the ingredients without losing the carbonation from the ginger beer.
- Garnish your Blackberry Dark and Stormy with a few whole blackberries or a slice of lime on the rim of the glass for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Blackberry Dark and Stormy cocktail!
Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for fresh blackberries when making your puree. They’ll add a vibrant taste and beautiful color to your cocktail.
- Chill Your Glass: To keep your drink colder for longer, chill your glass in the freezer for a few minutes before serving.
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to add a splash of lime juice for an extra zing or try using flavored ginger beer for a unique twist.
- Presentation Matters: Don’t skip the garnish! A few whole blackberries or a lime slice not only enhance the drink's visual appeal but also add a hint of extra flavor.
- Adjust to Your Taste: If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a touch more blackberry puree. For a spicier kick, choose a ginger beer with a stronger flavor profile.
