Blackberry Syrup

1. Add all of the ingredients to a saucepan over medium heat. Stir and heat until the blackberries start to bleed their color and become tender. At this point, use a potato masher and mash up the blackberries into a chunky pulp. Once mashed, allow the mixture to bubble for 5 minutes, stirring often.
2. Remove from heat and run the syrup through a mesh strainer over a glass container, pressing out the seeds and pulp to leave you with a clear blackberry syrup. Refrigerate the syrup for at least an hour before making a cocktail.

Blackberry Gin Spritz

1. Add the St-Germain, gin, blackberry syrup, and lemon juice to a large wine glass. Fill with ice and top with chilled Sprite. Stir and enjoy!
