my kinda drink!

Blackberry Gin Fizz from smitten kitchen For 2 tall drinks 1/4 cup fresh blackberries 2 Tbs. sugar (i'll probably skip the sugar) 1/2 cup gin 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (2 juicy limes) club soda 2 sprigs sweet basil or 2 thin lime wedges Purée blackberries and sugar in a blender until as liquefied as possible. Strain purée through a fine-mesh sieve or tea strainer into two tall or collins-style glasses; discard seeds in sieve. Divide gin and lime juice between glasses and stir to combine. Add ice to glasses then top each with soda and a sprig of basil or wedge of lime. (Might need another quick stir to combine.) Share with someone you like.
