I am trying something new with this post. All these pictures were taken with Instagram (I know, I am so 2010...).
Ok... I was craving for something berry-ish to lift my spirit, or just lift the heat out of me, it was 98 degree. And this is what I came up with. This CBC is so easy, even former President Bush can do it.
- Sprinkle sugar on fresh berries: Here I have 6 oz of blue berries and 3.5 oz of raspberries sprinkled with 6 tbsp of sugar. Mix them well and then leave them in the fridge for 30 min.
- Pile the berries up in your glass: Scoop however much berries you want, along with the berry syrup comes from the berries, into whatever you like to drink from. I used a straight sided short taper glass. Fill up the empty space of the glass with ice cubes or crushed ice.
- Infuse your drink with good spirits: I used 0.75 oz - 1.00 oz of Cointreau, and 2.50 oz - 3.00 oz of Raspberry Vodka. Last but not least, I top it off with a splash of Club Soda.
- Garnish: me doll up my CBC with a slice of lemon and a piece of basil leave (you can use whatever you like).
