2 ounces vodka

1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice

3-4 ounces ginger beer

sugar, for dusting the rim

lime wedge, for garnish

Preparation

Place some sugar on a small plate. Use a lime wedge to wet the rim of a lowball cocktail glass or (jam jar for a more casual feel). Dip the class into the sugar to coat. Fill with crushed ice and set aside.

Using a cocktail shaker, add the blackberries and using a muddler, muddle the berries until well smashed. Add the vodka and lime juice and shake vigorously. Add mixture to the prepared glass.

Top with ginger beer. Garnish with a lime wedge and a few blackberries.
