Cocktail Hour: Tequila Berry Berry

I recently went to a bar which, rather unfortunately, seemed to be out of at least one ingredient from every cocktail I fancied on the menu.

This very nearly resulted in an extremely disappointing evening, especially considering it was my first proper night out since I had finally gotten rid of the pot from my broken ankle (seriously I have been exiled at home for two whole months which *really* sucks).

Anyway, after three attempts the barman finally took pity and recommended I try a fruity tequila based cocktail and, always keen to extend my cocktail knowledge, I gave it a go. It was indeed very yummy and I was inspired to play around with the idea at home. So, after extensive research on your behalf, I give you Tequila Berry Berry!

Tequila Berry Berry

You will need:

• 1 shot of white tequila
• 1 shot of raspberry vodka
• Handful of raspberries & blackberries
• Squeeze of lime juice

Shake it!

1. Place the berries in the cocktail shaker and muddle by gently crushing. Take care not to crush the seeds though as this will result in a very bitter taste to your drink.

2. Place the remaining ingredients in the cocktail shaker, add ice and give it a good ol' shake to blend!

3. Strain into a large martini glass and enjoy!
