This Blackberry Bourbon Smash is the ideal summer cocktail – easy to make, super refreshing, well balanced, and a great use of seasonal produce! With only 6 ingredients, it's the an impressive drink for entertaining or just slow sipping on a hot afternoon.
I'll be the first to say that I don't love bourbon on its own, but a bourbon cocktail? Sign me up!
The rich, intense flavor of bourbon pairs beautifully with ripe summer fruit like peaches, cherries, and berries (specifically blackberries!). This blackberry bourbon smash utilizes a homemade blackberry syrup for tons of flavor, and freshly squeezed lime juice to balance everything out.
It's delicious, refreshing, and perfect for a hot summer day!
