If You are Looking for More Vodka Cocktails, Try These! We definitely didn’t want to muddle the blackberries because that tends to release the seeds of the blackberry which makes the drink feel less elegant. Then we wanted to find a way to get more blackberry flavor into the drink.
We initially thought we could just throw some blackberries in with the tangerine and vodka tonic, but we felt the blackberry flavor wasn’t bold enough. We thought would be perfect to add some nice flavor to a vodka tonic, too. Of course we had a nice set of fresh spring blackberries in our fridge. One great combination of flavors is fresh berry and citrus. Different than an orange, and sweeter than a lemon or lime, the tangerine works really well to add a brightness to our Blackberry and Tangerine Vodka Tonic. We made a great spring sipper, the Strawberry Limeade Gin and Tonic which is one of our favorite drinks!Ī few weeks ago we had used some tangerines to make a great tequila cocktail! (It’s exclusive on Instagram, which if you aren’t following us on Instagram you are missing out on a lot!) Then we fell in love with the fresh sweet citrus that is unique to the tangerine. We recently used this idea on the vodka tonic’s more complex cousin the gin and tonic. By adding a little fresh fruit, a syrup or even bitters, you can take a simple cocktail and change its characteristics completely! We can then build off of it to make something new. Of course as cocktail bloggers, we look at a simple cocktail like this as a great foundation. A clean simple cocktail, the vodka tonic is a refreshing blend of complex tonic and bright citrus and is perfect for sipping on a warm day.
Some folks add a squeeze of either lemon or lime to add a bit of tartness and a splash of color in an other wise plain looking cocktail. The classic vodka and tonic is really one of the most simple cocktails you can make, really just vodka and a splash of tonic water over ice.

We also love the spring berries that have come into season. A blackberry and tangerine ice ball makes this fabulous vodka tonic special!Īs the weather has started to get warmer, our tastes in cocktails have trended towards lighter spirits like gin and vodka.
