Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Heat the blackberries, sugar, and water in a small pot over medium-high heat. While warming, smash with a potato masher, until a thick even consistency is reached, about 8 minutes.

Pour the blackberries through a sieve, into a bowl, pushing some flesh through with the juices, making sure to catch the seeds. Cool in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.

Fill blender with 2 tablespoons of blackberry puree, 1 tablespoon lime juice, the apple juice, and a handful of ice. Pulse 5 to 6 times until the drink is ice cold. Strain the mixture into a pitcher. Return to blender and add 1/2 the ice cream. Pour into 4 glasses, so that each has the same amount. Top with 6 ounces of ginger ale and stir lightly. Repeat for the remaining 3 servings, topping off each glass with a scoop of the remaining ice cream.
