Notes
It’s best to fill the cocktail shaker with whole ice cubes for shaking, but you can serve this drink over crushed ice if you prefer.
For an extra blackberry flavor, try making this with Blackberry Bird Dog Whiskey.
Muddle means smashing it up to release flavor. Often, berries, fruit, and/or fresh herbs are muddled to make craft cocktails. In this recipe, you muddle lemon and mint together. You can buy a muddler to add to your barware set, use a mortar and pestle, or simply use the handle of a wooden spoon!
