About

The sweet and tart flavor of blackberries pairs wonderfully with the slightly spicy and herbal basil. The resulting infusion is a fruity, flavorful addition to many cocktails and is especially tasty in rum punch or as a liqueur. For a refreshing summer drink I will fill a glass with club soda, add a few ounces of the infused rum, and top it off with a few blackberries and basil leaves.
