Rate Recipe

Green tea, blackberries, mint, and lime all come together as a base to this cocktail (or mocktail.) Whether you hold the alcohol or not, this gives you both versions to suit your needs. Ginger beer and tonic finish these for a bit of effervescence.

METHOD

Place all ingredients except for tonic water (or ginger beer if making the mocktail version) into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 45 -55 seconds, or select Smoothie program and allow the machine to complete the programmed cycle.
Fill each rocks glass 3/4 of the way with ice. Pour 2/3 cup (160ml) blackberry mixture over ice, topping with 1/3 cup (80ml) tonic water for a cocktail, or ginger beer for a mocktail, stirring to incorporate.
