Bourbon Blackberry Smash
The Bourbon Blackberry Smash is one of my absolute favorite rustic cocktails. It’s so satisfying to build, and the deep caramel and spice from the bourbon play perfectly against the jammy blackberry and rich maple syrup. This drink is a true crowd-pleaser that always hits the spot.
