Blackberry Lime Cooler

1. 1

   In a small saucepan combine sugar, water, and lime zest. Stir occasionally over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture is clear. Bring to a boil, and let simmer until slightly reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.

2. 2

   In a blender or food processor puree the blackberries. Transfer the puree to a fine mesh sieve and press on the solids, extracting as much juice as possible.

3. 3

   In a pitcher combine the blackberry juice, sugar syrup, and lime juice. Refrigerate until very chilled.

4. 4

   Prior to serving, rim glasses with sugar and fill with ice. Pour sparkling water or ginger ale into the serving pitcher and stir well. Fill glasses and garnish with a lime slice.
