Instructions
- In the bottom of your rocks glass (or a cocktail shaker), use a cocktail muddler to muddle the blackberries, mint, sugar, and lime juice together to dissolve the sugar, release the oils from the mint, and break up the blackberries.
- Add the bourbon, crushed ice, and club soda to fill the glass. Gently stir with a spoon and serve cold.
Notes
- To make a nice pitcherful of your summer bourbon smash, you'll need...
- This will fill a 2 quart pitcher, so double it if you have a gallon pitcher. Muddle the blackberries, mint, and lime juice (and granulated sugar, if using instead of the simple syrup) at the bottom of your pitcher, then use a wooden spoon or long cocktail spoon to mix the simple syrup (if using), bourbon, club soda, and ice in the pitcher until nice and cold.
- Serve in pretty serving glasses!
- 2 cups fresh (or frozen) blackberries, separated. You want to smash about 1 to 1.5 cups of the blackberries, and have some whole for the *a e s t h e t i c*
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- About 1/3 cup of lime or lemon juice
- 1/4 granulated sugar OR simple syrup. In this case, I'd go with the simple syrup so the sweetness can be fully incorporated throughout the drink.
- 2 cups of bourbon
- 2+ cups of club soda or ginger ale
- Crushed Ice
