ZIPPER


ABOUT

Impress at your next patio or porch party with the Zipper - a deliciously sweet and slightly tart blend of vodka, blackberry liqueur, sparkling wine, lemon-lime soda and fresh berries. Slow down, it feels like summer...


DETAILS

The etymology of the name is a bit of a mystery, but it’s no secret that this drink is delicious. And easy to make in a large quantity so you can spend more time working the crowd, less time working the bar. Simply muddle the berries in a glass pitcher and pour in vodka and blackberry liqueur. As needed, fill highball glasses half full, top with bubbles and turn ‘em loose. Garnish with berries or mint and zip…err, sip away!
