Spring is here! Finally! Time to get out doors and enjoy the sunshine and mix up some Saturday afternoon cocktails. A springtime favorite of mine is the Blackberry Bramble. Light and refreshing, it's just reward for all those Saturday chores. So, put your feet up on that lounge chair you just hosed off, and enjoy.

Mix up a batch. These tasty libations are perfect for that Saturday BBQ with friends.
