blackberry bourbon smash

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I like my mixed drinks with produce in them. Fruits, vegetables, herbs. Sometimes all three. What can I say? I am who I am. And I love my fresh produce.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup american honey bourbon (i use wild turkey)

1/2 cup fresh blackberries, plus 6 for garnish

juice of 1 lime

1 sprig of rosemary, plus 2 more for garnish

1/2 cup topo chico sparkling water, plain or lime flavored

Directions:

Muddle together blackberries and lime juice in a shaker.

Add bourbon, club soda, and 1 sprig of rosemary. Top with ice. Make sure to seal your shaker securely, as the carbonation will fight the shake.

Shake to chill and combine ingredients.

Fill 2 glasses with ice, 3 blackberries and 1 sprig rosemary each.

Strain liquid from shaker into glasses and serve.
