PURPLE STAG COCKTAIL
Purple Stag Cocktail Recipe is the second in my series of drinks posts.
I realised I share very few drink recipes or recommendations apart from smoothies, so this week I 'm sharing some tasty summer drinks.
In my last post I shared 7 refreshing soft and non-alcoholic drinks for summer.
They are great if you are pregnant, it's your turn to drive or you are just trying to cut down on how many units you are drinking each week.
I this post I say to hell with that and share some alcohol.
Well, do have to cover both sides don't I?
pin it for later

FRESH BLACKBERRIES
The Purple Stag is a summer cocktail made with fresh blackberries, blackcurrant jam, yes jam and Jägermeister.
It's a gorgeous colour isn't it and I think we can count it as one of our five-a-day, can't we?
It's so fruity and delicious over ice.
The perfect summer cocktail.

Is there really supposed to be pesto in the recipe?
ReplyDeleteHaha, well spotted Amy and no. I have to hand code for my recipe box. I did a copy and paste & obviously missed that. Thanks for spotting it and please don't add pesto to your cocktail ;)
DeleteYou know I haven't had any blackberries this summer? Such a shame!
ReplyDeleteNo, oh that is a shame, they are so good!
DeleteYum! My husband absolutely love blackberries. I would love to make this for him and myself.
ReplyDeleteOh yes do, I am sure you will both love it :)
DeleteYou know, I've never tried Jagermeister. I think I've been put off by seeing people get carried away with Jagerbombs on skiing holidays. You've made it sound much more refined! Love that seasonal blackberries are in it/ Practically a health drink ;-)
ReplyDeleteYes I know what you mean, but it has good flavours. You should try it and yes definitely one of our five a day ;)
DeleteLove the berries and the gorgeous flavours here. Looks a gorgeous cocktail, I think I will have to get some Jagermeister in!
ReplyDeleteYes you should definitely try it. Very tasty!
DeleteThe cocktail looks so vibrant and the purple colour is so inviting!
ReplyDeleteYes the colour is fabulous!
DeleteWhat a gorgeous cocktail!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam :)
DeleteWhat a gorgeous looking drink!! What can I substitute for the alcohol?
ReplyDeleteI actually just posted a roundup of non-alcoholic drinks. Have a look at my post 7 Refreshing Soft and Non-Alcholic Drinks for Summer and try substituting the alcohol. Mix it up!
DeleteOh I've never added flavoured tea into a cocktail before, it sounds so yummy!
ReplyDeleteDo try it Emily, it's really good.
DeleteI didn't know that those were the flavours in Jaegermeister, I think I might like that! Delicious cocktail, so many fruity summer flavours.
ReplyDeleteYes it's much nicer than you might imagine.
DeleteThis sounds really great - I love anything with fresh blackberries - I can almost taste it!!
ReplyDeleteHoly wotsits... this has my name all over it! Why have I not seen it before? **drool**
ReplyDeleteThis was phenominal! Thanks for posting. I used Blackberry Jam instead of Black Currant jam, and used Lipton "Forest Fruits" berry tea. It worked great, a very delicious and sophisticated drink.
