Blackberry Martini's

I have black berries growing wild on the side of the house, so I went to www.grouprecipes.com and found this great recipe for martini's. They looked just like the picture above and tasted lovely.

3 oz vodka

• 3 dashes Peychaud's bitters
• 1/4 oz blackberry syrup, chilled
• blackberries sugared
• **For the sugared blackberry garnish, toss fresh blackberries with freshly squeezed lemon juice, then spear on a toothpick and roll in superfine sugar.**

How to make it

---

• Shake vodka and bitters with ice.
• Strain into a cocktail glass.
• Add syrup, which will pool in the bottom of the glass.
• Garnish with sugared blackberries.
