Friday Cocktail: Blackberry Pearl Gimlet
Cocktails With Kristen
On this beautiful Friday in October, I decided we would start our Cocktail series with my friend Lori’s fresh Blackberry Pearl Gimlet. This inspired twist on The famous Ivy’s Black Pearl is delicious and a great way to kick off the weekend.
Lori makes this drink for almost all of our Mommy Functions. It’s easy, fresh and delicious. So here’s to starting the weekend right. CHEERS!
This cocktail is a great addition to your fall recipes with a tangy burst of lime and a fresh burst of blackberries.
