Berry Jam Fizz Cocktail

Directions:

1. Prepare Your Glass: Start by getting a highball glass or any tall glass you have handy.
2. Mix the Cocktail: In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin (or vodka), berry jam, and fresh lemon juice. Fill the shaker with a handful of ice cubes.
3. Shake It Up: Secure the lid on the shaker and give it a good, vigorous shake for about 15-20 seconds. This helps to thoroughly mix the ingredients and chill the drink, while also breaking down the jam so it integrates smoothly.
4. Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into your prepared glass filled with ice cubes. This ensures your cocktail is smooth and free from any larger fruit pieces from the jam.
5. Top It Off: Gently top off the glass with club soda. This adds a lovely fizziness to the cocktail, making it even more refreshing.
6. Garnish: Add a few fresh berries and a twist of lemon to the glass for garnish. These not only make the drink look more appealing but also add a hint of fresh flavor that complements the jam.
