MARKET BERRY COCKTAIL

12 berries, such as raspberry, strawberry or blackberry
1 tsp simple honey syrup
1 1/2 ounces club soda
1 ounce citrus-flavored or plain vodka
1/2 ounce lemon juice
Fresh mint leaf (for garnish)

INSTRUCTIONS
In a shaker, muddle 8 berries; fill with ice and add vodka, club soda, honey syrup and lemon juice. Shake well and strain into a Collins glass filled with ice. Garnish with remaining 4 berries and mint.

Note: To make honey syrup
In a small pan over medium-high heat, combine 1/2 cup honey and 1/2 cup water, whisking frequently until honey is completely dissolved. Transfer to glass jar and cool before using.

YES this drink has a little sugar in it. I am offering a ‘lite’ version in the way that this is low in calories and definitely lower in sugar (average 1-2 tsp per serving among these drink recipes) than your average counter bar ordered drink. If you see any ingredients listed as ‘light’ these should not include any artificial sweeteners. For example, you may find “light cranberry juice” that has is watered down versus one that has had an artificial sweetener added to it.
