How to Make a Blackberry Bourbon Cocktail
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.)

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!
