Happy Christmas Eve! I can’t believe December (and Christmas) is almost over, it FLEW by. I’m sure you have about 5,000 things to do. If one of those things is find a unique drink to serve guests tomorrow…you’ve found it! This Basil Blackberry Bourbon Cocktail is incredible (if I do say so myself).
This drink:
- will please guests
- tastes good
- is easy to make
- will make difficult family members easier to be around
You can make a big batch before everyone comes and just add the sparkling water before serving. As the recipe notes, add more bourbon if you’d like a stronger drink. Cheers!
- 7 basil leaves
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1/3 cup blackberries (approximately 6)
- 1/4 cup bourbon whiskey (4oz/2 shots)
- lemon sparkling water
-
Place basil, honey, lemon juice, blackberries and bourbon whiskey into blender. Blend until smooth
-
Add ice into cocktail shaker. Shake blended mixture and split between two glasses. Top with sparkling water. Garnish, serve & enjoy!
Add more bourbon for a stronger drink, duh!
