Not July anymore, I’m having a drink before dinner, just thrown together with what looked good.

3 big sweet blackberries

2oz bourbon

1 oz orange liqueur

1/2 oz vanilla liqueur

1/2 oz lemon juice

Muddled then shook with ice.

Honestly could be a little sweeter. Blackberries are never as sweet as they seem. It’s a one and done but if trying again, would muddle the fruit with sugar and then halve the orange liqueur, to get a more vanilla flavor. I was afraid of overdoing it.

    I love blackberries with a more smokey or woody flavor but this sounds very nice.

    I wonder if maybe some bitters might be useful.
