Drink recipe: Blackberry smash
I love the fact that I discovered this drink at a Dallas restaurant named The Porch. Indeed, the drink is a perfect porch-crowd pleaser. You’ll love the wonderful marriage of
mint and
blackberry, and its gorgeous deep ruby colour.
Ingredients
Directions
Muddle the mint and blackberries in a cocktail shaker. Add the whiskey, lemon juice, simple syrup, and ½ cup ginger ale. Add ice and mix with bar spoon (don’t shake—remember there’s ginger ale in there). Pour into wide-mouth or tall cocktail glasses filled with ice. Top off with extra ginger ale to taste. Garnish, if desired.
