This spooky Blackberry Pomegranate Gin and Tonic is the perfect, refreshing drink to serve on Halloween night! Made with fresh blackberries, lime juice, pomegranate juice, good quality gin and topped off with tonic water.

Two glasses of Blackberry Pomegranate Gin and Tonic. Garnished with Fresh rosemary. One rosemary sprig has smoke coming up from it.

I’m not a particularly spooky person, but I do love making things festive! This Blackberry Pomegranate Gin and Tonic (or a Black Widow) is a twist on a classic G&T with the addition of blackberries and pomegranate juice.

A traditional Gin and Tonic contains just 3 basic ingredients:

Gin
Lime Juice
Tonic Water

For this festive and fruity version, I simply muddled a few blackberries in the bottom of a glass and added some pomegranate juice with the gin. Garnished with a rosemary sprig or you could opt to use more blackberries as a garnish.

A Gin and Tonic is a fast and easy cocktail to make and is made right in the glass. No shaker needed!

How to Make a Blackberry Pomegranate Gin and Tonic

Gin and Tonics are a very easy cocktail to make. Everything is combined in the glass, so there is no need for extra equipment such as a shaker. Combine your ingredients, gently stir and you’re done!

In a highball glass, muddle the blackberries with the lime juice.
Fill glass with crushed ice
Add gin and pomegranate juice
Top with tonic water and stir gently to combine

Tips and Substitutions

If fresh blackberries are unavailable, head to the freezer section! Thaw them out before muddling.
No muddler? Simply use a wooden spoon to muddle the blackberries.
Bottled lime juice can be used in a pinch, but fresh is the best way to go.
