NØLO Recipe: Blackberry Basil Press
May 15, 2026
This blackberry basil press is fresh, herbaceous, lightly sweet, and wildly drinkable. With natural caffeine, it's a fantastic brunch-time go-to adapted from Drømme’s original Awake Blackberry Basil Press. A just-right, brings the sweet and the heat, zero-proof cocktail that feels fancy without requiring bartender-level ambition.
The Story
Drømme’s Awake is the heated, bright, functional, botanical backbone to this easy highball-style drink. Blackberries add juicy tartness, basil keeps it fresh, simple syrup softens the edges, and soda water gives it that crisp patio-drink finish.
Lion's Mane mushroom, B12, Guayusa Extract, Ginseng, MCT oil, and ashwagandha are all part of Awake's functional blend.
Translation: this is what you make when you want something pretty, refreshing, and not remotely boring.
Ashwagandha should not be consumed if you're pregnant or trying to get pregnant.
