This refreshingly great cocktail is sure to be a crowd favorite. The sugar and lemon zest ring is the perfect compliment to this sweet and tart libation. Adorned with a slice of lemon and a blackberry it is an instant visual masterpiece. The beverage will sit sexy in any type of stemware but I just love a drink in a martini glass.
