Blackberry Cider Smash
Get ready to wow your friends...
Our newest cider cocktail creation, which we're lovingly calling the Blackberry Cider Smash uses fresh summer blackberries, lemon, mint, a splash of rum, and our beautifully balanced Reserve Cider. It's refreshing, balanced, and also beautiful to drink. 😍
We recently made this for a special Farm to Forest dinner at the beautiful Cedar Root farm in Beavercreek, OR and it was a real crowd-pleaser, to say the least.
Serves approx 6:
1/2 pint blackberries, some berries reserved for garnish
3 or 4 sprigs fresh mint, plus additional for garnish
2 tablespoons sugar
1 shot of rum
1 lemon, juiced
1 bottle of Kristof Farms Reserve Cider
Ice cubes
Muddle the blackberries, mint sprigs and sugar in a cocktail shaker. Stir in the rum and lemon juice.
Strain into cocktail glasses over ice, or into a pitcher with ice.
Top off with Kristof Farms Reserve Cider; stir lightly. Garnish with mint sprigs and blackberries.
