Blackberry Bourbon Smash
This winter cocktail is light and refreshing but the bitters still lend an earthy herbal flavor to completement the bourbon
Ingredients:
2 ounces bourbon
1/2 ounce simple syrup
2 fresh blackberries
dash of bitters
ginger ale
garnish: whole blackberries
Instructions:
Muddle the blackberries with the dash of bitters in the bottom a DOF glass with ice. Then, add bourbon, simple syrup and ice. Top the rest of the glass with ginger ale and stir. Garnish with a whole blackberry.
When it is chilly it is hard to beat a rich cup of hot chocolate. To take this hot chocolate over the top I added homemade raspberry swirl marshmallow. Top it off with a drizzle of more dark chocolate and maybe a little raspberry liquor and this hot chocolate is sure to warm you up!
It's officially fall y'all. The Autumnal Equinox may have started a few weeks ago but here in NC, this week has been the start of low temps, crisp nights and the continuous hankering for everything pumpkin spiced. So, for thirsty Thursday enter this Autumnal Pomegranate Fizz.
When the temperature rises, all I want is chilled desserts, frozen desserts, or desserts served a la mode. This sweet treat is a combination of two refreshing frozen favorites, Fresh Mint Ice Cream and Salted Watermelon Granita. Cool and refreshing this duo is a great after dinner treat. Pour over some sparkling rosé and you have an extra special ice cream float cocktail!
