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.
