I put a new spin on this classic cocktail by incorporating fresh blackberries to provide natural sweetness while simultaneously upping the nutrition ante.

Made with just 5 simple ingredients, this lovely libation contains 5 whopping grams of filling fiber and a ton of delicious flavor. Plus, the blackberries provide a nice dose of vitamin C, brain-boosting antioxidants…and a built-in snack. Cheers to superfood cocktails!
