The Hummingbird Craft Cocktail Recipe

I have created the perfect craft cocktail recipe- The Hummingbird Craft Cocktail. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been a fan of “strong” cocktails or the renowned “girly” drinks. Don’t get me wrong, I can enjoy a Bahama Mamma every now again but it isn’t a drink I could have more than one of without getting a sugar migraine. It’s just too sweet. So, when I am choosing an adult beverage I like it to be right in the middle. Not too sweet or too strong. The alcohol taste is too prevalent in drinks like Rum and Coke and the latter is way too sweet for my taste buds. But whatever your taste preferences are, this craft cocktail recipe is sure to please!

This craft cocktail will please the sweet-goers with the lemonade and blackberry base but won’t be too sweet for those of you who go for a stronger taste with the addition of basil! Plus extra bonus, there aren’t any fillers; all of these ingredients can be found in your garden or fridge!  Over at Hansen and Heidelberg I shared the full tutorial as well additional pictures of this masterpiece, we decided to call the Hummingbird Craft Cocktail. Visit the link to see the entire post. So, if this drink sounds enticing to your taste buds, just look below for the full craft cocktail recipe.

Hummingbird Craft Cocktail Ingredients:

  • 6 Lemons
  • Fresh Basil leaves
  • Blackberries (1 carton)
  • Simple Syrup (see instructions here)
  • Gin
  • Club Soda
  • Muddle (a pestle-like bar tool)
