Blackberry Whiskey Smash

Layer Bird Dog Blackberry Whiskey and several mint leaves into a co*cktail shaker and muddle. Muddle mint leaves, a handful of blackberries, and simple syrup in the bottom of your glass and add ice. Strain the contents of the shaker into the glass. Garnish with mint leaves.

In a shaker with ice, add Crown Royal, lemon juice, blackberry simple syrup. Shake and strain into an ice-filled glass and top with tonic water or sparkling wine. Garnish with a skewer of Mint, Lemon, and Fresh Blackberries.

The Whiskey Smash differs from a whiskey sour because it uses whole lemon wedges rather than lemon juice. The Manhattan co*cktail has been around longer than the Whiskey Smash. This co*cktail gets its name from its place of origin, The Manhattan Club in New York.

Is there a blackberry bourbon? ›

If you've ever tasted a homemade blackberry pie, we probably had you at “Blackberry Bourbon”. We don't just throw fake flavoring into un-aged spirits. This blend of a 4 year bourbon aged in American Oak barrels and blackberry extract is as Wild and Wonderful in a co*cktail as it is on the rocks!

Our Bourbon Bramble co*cktail is a sweet mixture of ripe blackberries, freshly squeezed lemon juice, blackberry liqueur, our trademark Basil Hayden^® Bourbon and basil garnish. The content can only be shared with people of legal drinking age.

Dating all the way back to the 1800s, a Whisky Sour is about as classic a co*cktail as you can get. If you're a Whisky Sour sipper, it's likely that you are very complex; you tend to have many different - sometimes opposing - personality traits and are extremely adaptable in social situations.

A smash is a julep, but a julep is not always a smash. The difference between the two, primarily, is the muddled fruit. Okay, sure, there's the julep's distinctive crushed ice and that stellar silver cup—but recipe-wise, a julep doesn't require muddled fruit, and a smash does.

When it comes time to make the whiskey sour (which is the best part), you'll want to shake it. A general rule of thumb is if a co*cktail contains only spirits, then you want to stir. If a co*cktail contains juice, dairy, or egg white, then you shake it.

Tasting Notes

It awakens your taste buds. On the nose, you get sweet blackberries and warm bourbon. The body is sleek and smooth blackberry sweetness upfront with the subtle fade into traditional notes of honey, oak and a rich bourbon. The finish is slightly sweet and rolls into warm, aged bourbon.

Add two or more blackberries to the bottom of the glass. Using a muddler, muddle the blackberries until lightly smashed. Fill the glass with ice and add a squeeze of lime, gin, and tonic to the glass with the muddled blackberries.

Crown Royal Blackberry Flavored Whisky stands out as a versatile blend, showcasing its adaptability across various hosting occasions.
