Muddle the Blackberries: Start by placing the fresh blackberries in a sturdy glass. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently crush the blackberries to release their juicy goodness.

Add the Lime and Sugar: Add the lime wedges to the glass, followed by the granulated sugar. Continue to muddle these ingredients together until the lime releases its juices and mixes well with the sugar and blackberry pulp.

Add Ice and Vodka: Fill the glass with ice cubes, then pour the vodka over the ice. Give it a good stir to combine all the flavors.

Top with Soda Water: If you prefer a lighter, more refreshing drink, add a splash of soda water. This step is optional but highly recommended for a balanced cocktail.

Garnish and Serve: Finally, garnish your Blackberry Caipiroska with a few fresh mint leaves for an added touch of elegance. Serve immediately and enjoy!
