Notes

Recipe Notes:

Fresh blackberries tend to be more sour than ones that have been heated, like with the blackberry simple syrup.
If you choose to make this drink with fresh blackberries, you may want to add more saline solution OR more simple syrup. 

Serving Notes:

Daiquiris are small in volume, usually about 5 ounces or less. Opt to use a small glass instead of a large volume one, which can make the drink look dinky. 😅
