On the menu at Dram, our favorite bourbon bar in Mountain Brook Village, is a fabulous bourbon drink called a Blackberry Winter... But I have to say it reminds me of Easter and springtime! Saturday rolled around and I had already purchased the ingredients to make my own... Here it is!
2 oz Bourbon of your choice (I chose Makers... comes with Knob Creek at Dram)
2 oz orange-juiced based juice (I chose a mix of OJ/pineapple/apple, but Dram uses Sour Mix)
a hefty squeeze of lime juice
1 Tbs of coarsely pureed blackberries
Puree 1 container blackberries (save about 4 berries for garnish), coarsely, with chunks. This keeps if you choose to make the drink several nights in a row.
Pour all above ingredients in a shaker. Fill shaker 2/3 of way with ice. Shake. Delicious served in a double-old-fashioned... but I bet even better served up and neat!
Enjoy!
can't wait to make this this summer!!
