What better way to celebrate these last glorious weeks of summer than with this Grilled Blackberry Lemonade with White Peach cocktail feat. Mountain Valley White Peach Sparkling and fruit grilled on a Big Green Egg from #TeamGreen partner @tylerplayswithfire, full recipe below.
Grilled Blackberry Lemonade with White Peach
For the simple syrup:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup Mountain Valley Spring Water
- 1 cup grilled blackberries sliced in half (cherries or your favorite fruit will also work)
Directions:
- Heat up a cast iron skillet directly on your Big Green Egg grill top then bring water & sugar to a boil until the sugar dissolves.
- Reduce heat and add the berries.
- Simmer & stir until the syrup has taken on the color, but not until the berries fall apart.
- Strain berries out & set aside.
For the garnish:
- Take strained berries, approximately 1 tbsp of honey and mix so the berry segments separate, but don’t mix to a mush.
For the cocktail:
Ingredients:
- 2oz simple syrup
- 2oz fresh lemon juice *first, lightly grill your lemons directly on your grill top for added complexity and a smoky flavor*
- 2oz whiskey
- 2oz Mountain Valley White Peach Sparkling Water
Directions:
- Combine ingredients and pour over ice, spoon a bar spoon of garnish on top and give it a stir.
Pro-tip: Make this a non-alcoholic mocktail by simply not adding whiskey & increasing the Mountain Valley White Peach Sparkling Water to 3 oz.
