Last two weeks have been pretty hectic. More than hectic, I would say. I volunteered for a fund raising in my home country and that kept me busy, busier than usual. The \u201cbig event\u201d is today. So, yesterday I decided to celebrate by mixing these drinks, shooting the pictures and writing this post before sunset.<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Well, I mixed the drinks and shot the pictures before sunset, but I wrote this before going to bed. Yesterday was such a beautiful, perfect Southern California spring day. It was one of these days that you just want to be outdoors and celebrate life.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

After a whole week almost secluded working, there was no way for me to come and sit by my laptop to do anything. Besides, this Summer in Barcelona was so good, that we decided to enjoy it with no hurry.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Summer in Barcelona is the name of the cocktail. I found it in the cocktail menu of Fig &Olive<\/a> in Melrose Place, West Hollywood. There, drinks and dishes bring the Mediterranean ingredients, aromas and flavors of Spain, France and Italy.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
I don\u2019t know the \u201cfather of the creature\u201d and as for the recipe, I just got what was written in the menu: rum, homemade rosemary and thyme syrup<\/a>, fresh lime juice and muddled blackberries.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
I love the name. I love the bright, intense red color provided by the blackberries. I love how the syrup and the rosemary and thyme sprigs bring hints of the fresh herbs, first to the nose and then to the palate.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

Most of all, I love when a cocktail takes rum to the next level. Summer in Barcelona is a perfectly balanced concoction, combining fresh ingredients with aged rum, a rum like Santa Teresa A\u00f1ejo<\/a><\/em>,  born to be mixed with fresh fruits. Salud!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Ingredients<\/strong>
\n6 blackberries
\n\u00be oz rosemary and thyme syrup
\n\u00be oz fresh lemon juice
\n1 \u00bd oz Ron de Venezuela Santa Teresa A\u00f1ejo<\/em><\/p>\n

Muddle the blackberries with the syrup and the lemon juice. Add crushed ice, the rum and shake well. Strain over a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary or thyme or both.<\/p>\n
