Preparation Instructions
Muddle the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add fresh basil leaves, chopped pineapple, and blackberries. Muddle the mixture gently to release the flavors without completely breaking apart the fruit.
Add the Liquids
Pour in the Cinco Five Star Vodka, Amaretto, and freshly pressed lemon juice into the shaker with the muddled ingredients.
Shake It Up
Add ice to the shaker, cover it, and shake well for about 15-20 seconds until chilled.
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice. Optionally, use a fine mesh strainer if you want to remove the pulp.
Garnish
Garnish with a slapped basil leaf and a single fresh blackberry on top.
