Ingredients

200 g fresh blackberries
1 teaspoon lemon juice
30 g granulated sugar
2 tablespoon yuzu juice
ice cubes
1 C carbonated water/sparkling water

Garnish:

mint
lemon slices

Instructions

Make the blackberry yuzu juice concentrate:

In a small saucepan, combine blackberries, lemon juice and granulated sugar.
Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the blackberries soften, release their juices and the syrup thickens a little.
Remove from heat.
Place the blackberry mixture through a sieve over a bowl and push the blackberry juice through with a spatula.
Discard the blackberry seeds.
Stir in yuzu juice and set aside.

Assemble the drink:

In a tall glass filled with ice cubes, pour in half of the blackberry juice concentrate (about 1 ½ oz).
Top off with carbonated water.
Add in a sprig of fresh mint and garnish with a lemon slice.
Stick in a straw, give it a stir, sip and enjoy.

Notes

Blackberry yuzu juice concentrate yields enough for 2 (16oz) servings.
