Honey-Lemon Blackberry Bourbon Smash

This recipe is an original.  When I have some free time, I sit around and try to invent cocktails that are appealing to those who enjoy them.

This recipe uses "good quality" products in it such as honey from Savannah Bee Company and Bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery.  Make sure to use ripe blackberries in the recipe to get the most flavor and sweetness from them.

Ingredients

• Blackberries 6-10, depending on their size.
• 1 1/2 ounces of honey
• 2 ounces of bourbon
• Juice from half a small lemon (can use a lime, if preferred)

2. add 1 1/2 ounces to the glass.
