It’s a Halloween Happy Hour!
This blackberry bourbon cocktail was developed for maximum taste and spooky color without using any food coloring or hard-to-find coloring ingredients.

Makes 1 cocktail
2 oz bourbon
1 oz honey syrup
0.5 oz ginger liqueur
2 dashes orange bitters
4-5 blackberries
0.5 oz fresh orange juice*
Muddle blackberries and orange juice in a cocktail shaker until all of the blackberries are crushed.
Add 3-4 ice cubes to the shaker.**
Add honey syrup, bourbon, ginger liqueur, and orange bitters.
Shake well.
Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a glass. (Be patient here! With all those fresh blackberries in your shaker, this step will take longer than usual.)
Enjoy!Â
Tips on Blackberry Bourbon Cocktails
- *Fresh squeezed orange juice is important in this recipe! Buy the fruit, not the bottle of juice (no matter how fresh or fancy it is!).
- **You need just enough ice to chill your drink. Don’t load the shaker with ice or it’ll take even longer to strain your cocktail. There’s a lot of blackberry pulp in there!
