Blackberry Whisky Cocktail
The blackberry whisky cocktail is a fruity spin packed with the rich taste of seasonal berries, making it a great sipper throughout the summer months, or as a bright alternative to heavier whisky drinks. Best served chilled at brunch or dusk events, its visual and aromatic appeal is further elevated when topped with fresh blackberries or a lemon slice.

Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
When muddling blackberries, use a moderate push-and-twist action rather than smashing them since this technique extracts juice and flavour without releasing excessive skin or seed fragments.
Serving Tip 1
For added scent and visual appeal, garnish with not only fresh blackberries but also an expressed lemon peel. The citrus oils add a necessary bright top note that complements the fruit.
