  • 5-6 fresh basil leaves, washed and torn Muddle gently for stronger flavor.
  • 1 ounce white rum Can substitute with vodka or gin.
  • 1 ounce Manischewitz blackberry wine
  • to top off seltzer seltzer Add just before serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine blackberries, lime juice, sugar, and basil in the bottom of a clean highball glass.
  2. Muddle the ingredients together until the berries have been crushed.
  3. Add crushed ice halfway up the glass, then pour in the rum and Manischewitz wine, stirring to combine well.

Notes

Best enjoyed fresh. Store leftover liquid mixture (without seltzer) in the refrigerator for up to a day. Mix seltzer just before serving to retain fizz.
