Preparation
Step 1
Bring blackberries, sugar, and ½ cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Reduce heat so that liquid is at a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until fruit is very soft, 20–25 minutes. Let blackberry syrup cool, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher, pressing on fruit to extract as much liquid as you possibly can; discard solids.
Step 2
Add gin and lemon juice to syrup in pitcher. Add ice to fill and stir until chilled, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Fill Collins glasses with ice cubes and divide cocktail among glasses. Top each with ¼ cup club soda and garnish with lemon wheels.
