Looking for a standout bourbon cocktail? This blackberry bourbon smash is refreshing and perfect for parties, featuring blackberries, lime, and fresh mint.
Place the lime, berries, and mint leaves in cocktail shaker. Muddle (gently mash) them 4 to 5 times to extract their flavor. (Here’s more on How to Muddle Mint.)
Add the bourbon, maple syrup and 4 ice cubes. Shake until cold, then pour everything into a glass. If desired, add a splash of soda water. Serve with crushed ice.
