This recipe was featured as part of our Wine Cocktails photo gallery.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pint fresh blackberries, plus 12 extra berries for garnish
- 5 ounces Simple Syrup, chilled
- 1 (750-milliliter) bottle dry rosé wine, chilled
- 9 ounces vodka, chilled
- 6 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 9 medium limes), chilled
- Ice
- 12 thinly sliced lime wheels, for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
- Place the pint of blackberries and simple syrup in a large pitcher and muddle until the fruit is crushed and juicy but not completely pulverized, about 1 minute. Add the wine, vodka, and lime juice and stir to combine.
- Place a fine-mesh strainer over a punch bowl and strain the mixture into the bowl, discarding the solids. Place a large block of ice in the punch and serve in wineglasses filled with ice. Garnish each drink with a blackberry and a lime wheel.
