TGIT! Let's make some cocktails shall we? Blackberry Pineapple Smash Cocktails are on the agenda for today and I can promise that you'll absolutely love them!

Blackberry Pineapple Smash from www.whatsgabycooking.com (@whatsgabycookin)

Last weekend Thomas and I were out on a double date when we happened across a cute little bar in Santa Monica that made the most excellent cocktails. I strayed from my go-to drink of a Moscow Mule and instead opted for this heavenly number. I've dubbed it the Blackberry Pineapple Smash and we've recreated it a few times since.

It's a simple cocktail of muddled blackberries, clear rum, fresh lime juice, pineapple juice and a touch of mint. Done. Easy as that. Shake, shake, shake and then it's done. It's 100% my new go-to spring cocktail of choice. And if you need me this weekend, I'll be sipping these poolside while trying desperately to work on my tan!

Ingredients

▢ 1 cup fresh blackberries
▢ 1-2 sprigs fresh mint
▢ 1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice

Instructions

Muddle the blackberry, mint and lime juice in the bottom of a cocktail shaker.
Add the tequila and pineapple juice, along with a few pieces of ice, and secure the lid onto the shaker. Shake for 30 seconds until the liquid is chilled.
Pour the cocktail, muddled bits and all, into 2 ice-filled cocktail glasses and top with a spritz of club soda. Serve immediately.

Notes

I recommend picking up a cocktail shaker and a few other supplies. You can enjoy happy hour at any hour for a fraction of the cost.

We made these with one variation - we used pineapple soda instead of pineapple juice and club soda. I bet they were slightly sweeter than this recipe, but they were still really tasty! I wonder if this recipe would work well subbing strawberries instead of blackberries. (And yes, I realize that it's not summer right now, but hey, a good cocktail is a good cocktail no matter what time of year!)

Delish! .. but mine came out much darker purple from the blackberries.

These cocktails deeeeeefinitely have me dreaming of Friday! Gonna get smashed...! Er. I mean, the blackberries and pineapples are getting smashed 😉

It's Monday, that totally calls for slammin' one, fine TWO, of these back!!

My kind of refreshing sip. Gorgeous, Gaby!

Those look so nice and cool, refreshing and good!

Wow, those look soooo yummy! And pretty 🙂 Definitely trying this for our next girls' night. Thanks for sharing this 🙂

I want to hurt you that you will be anywhere working on your tan. I guess I'll make myself one of these beauties and try to forget you just said that.
