Blackberry Peach Whiskey Smash
Blackberries are succulent, juicy berries with a tart flavor. The ripest ones are sweet and tangy, while unripe berries can be sour or bitter. These shiny, dark purple berries become sweeter and less tart the longer it stays on the bush. So, now is the perfect time to start enjoying those delicious soft and juicy berries! You can eat them by themselves, throw some sugar on top of them, make a cobbler, or even make a tasty cocktail! This Blackberry Peach Whiskey Smash is slightly sweet, impossibly smooth, and has a fruit-forward taste that will make your taste buds hum after every sip!
It’s easy on the eyes, and even easier to sip, this drink is perfect for the start of football season. The peach/blackberry duo is one for the ages, they really bring out the best in each other. There’s no such thing as a sweetness overload, plus our Black Cherry Wood Finished Bourbon and the Amaretto level it out to be absolutely divine. We topped it off with some Club Soda to give it a little carbonation and to enhance the sweetness! Rimming the glass with a mint leaf will leave you with a delightful floral aroma, making this cocktail even more irresistible. Now, who’s ready for football season!?
