Blackberry Whiskey Lemonade

When you think of North Carolina in the summertime, blackberries, lemonade and front porch sitting don't stray too far from the mind. So in the spirit of the Carolinas, adding a little bit of whiskey to that summertime feeling is right up our alley.
​
For this cocktail, we wanted to showcase Boundary Street Rye Whiskey's delectable flavors. It is spice-forward with underlying subtleties of butterscotch, vanilla and herbal flavors allowing it to complement, contrast and enhance a myriad of flavors, especially lemon, blackberries and rosemary.

Ingredients:

• 1oz Boundary Street Rye Whiskey​
• 1oz fresh lemon juice
• 0.75oz simple syrup
• 6-8 blackberries
• 1 rosemary sprig

Directions:​
Combine blackberries, lemon juice,  and simple syrup to a shaker glass. Muddle until blackberries are well broken up. Add rye whiskey and ice. Shake well until all ingredients are combined. Pour over fresh ice. Garnish with a rosemary sprig and lemon twist.
