Ingredients
Scale
- about 10 blackberries
- 10 mint leaves
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
- 3 oz bourbon
- 3 oz club soda or sparkling water
- ice
Instructions
- Place blackberries, mint and sugar in a shaker and muddle.
- Add ice, lemon juice and bourbon, place lid on top, and shake to combine.
- Strain into two glasses filled with ice.
- Top each with soda.
- Stir and garnish with extra blackberries, fresh mint and/or lime wedges (optional).
Notes
- Choose a good bourbon that you enjoy. A cheap or icky bourbon will make the whole drink taste bad.
- Use granulated sugar, not raw sugar. Raw sugar will not dissolve as well, so it will stay behind in the shaker.
- If your blackberries are extra tart, your cocktail will be too. Adjust the sugar accordingly.
- In a pinch, lemon juice can be used instead of lime.
- If you really don't care for bourbon, try this cocktail with gin, vodka, or rum instead.
