Blackberry Bourbon Lemonade Ingredients

2 oz. Simple Syrup
2 oz. Bourbon of your choice – or more if you want it stronger.
6 oz. lemonade – fresh squeezed or mixed, whatever you feel like.
1 Cup of Sugar
12 oz. fresh blackberries

Instructions

1. Make the Blackberry Simple Syrup by placing the blackberries and sugar in a medium saucepan on medium heat, and cooking for 25 minutes. Set aside a few blackberries beforehand for garnish.
2. Stir mixture often and when you see the blackberries have softened, and a thick syrup has formed, remove from heat.
3. Strain syrup using a mesh sieve to remove any seeds or chunks from the syrup
4. Let syrup cool for 20 minutes.
5. When syrup is cool combine it with Jack Daniels, lemonade, and sugar in a large shaker.
6. Add 3-4 pieces of ice and shake to combine.
7. Fill drinking glasses 3/4 of the way with ice and pour mixture into glass.
8. Add a few blackberries on top.
