Thirsty Thursday

As I trudge through the last 1.5 weeks of my real job before summer vacation begins-- I will be returning to my roots: sharing things I love, drinks I wish I were drinking (poolside), and products that I am obsessed with, and I hope to get dressed once or twice.  I hope you enjoy, little chickens.


Here's a beverage that I am super duper looking forward to making this (or any) Thursday evening:
Drink Recipe found here
Blackberry Bourbon Sour
For one drink... but let's be honest, you'll want to 5x this recipe :)
2 ounces high-quality bourbon whiskey (Tuthilltown, Makers Mark, or Bulleit)
2⁄3 ounces lemon juice 5 fresh blackberries, plus 3 for garnish 1 teaspoon superfine sugar (or simple syrup) Fresh mint
❶ In a shaker half-filled with ice cubes, combine the bourbon, lemon juice, blackberries, and sugar. Shake well. As you shake, the blackberries will get mashed and flavor the drink.
Pour in glass, and garnish if you want... but I just drink my down! Enjoy!
