Description

Ingredients

• 12 oz. fresh blackberries
• ½ cup sugar
• 7.5 oz. whiskey
• 7.5 oz. lemon juice
• 1 large rosemary sprig
• 6 oz. blackberry simple syrup

Directions

• Put the blackberries and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
• Cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until blackberries have softened and you have a thick syrup.
• Strain syrup through a mesh sieve to separate any seeds or lumps from the syrup. You can discard the leftover pulp, although I like to freeze it in ice cube trays and pop a cube or two in smoothies.
• Let syrup cool on the counter for 20 minutes or so before you make the drinks.
• Combine all ingredients in a large shaker and add a handful or two of ice cubes. Depending on the size of your shaker, you may have to shake the drinks in two batches.
• Shake to combine and chill drinks.
• Pour over ice into glasses and serve.
