Sweet, Sour, & Spicy Blackberry Limeade
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
Soundtrack: “Unstoppable” by Santogold from Santogold
This is a drink that I made while living in Brooklyn. It gave me a lot of comfort on those New York City-will-wear-you-out days. Remove the lime slices if storing in the refrigerator for more than a few hours, as they will make the drink bitter.
5 cups filtered water
1/2 cup agave nectar
1/2 cup freshly lime juice (from about 10 - 12 limes)
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
About 1/2 pound (10 oz) of frozen blackberries
1 large organic lime, ends cut off and sliced thinly lengthwise
- In a large pitcher combine the water, agave nectar, lime juice, and the cayenne pepper. Stir well. Add the blackberries and the lime slices, pour into a pitcher, and refrigerate until cool. Serve in slender, clear glasses.
