Tis the season for fresh berries, and adding them to cocktails is the perfect way to enjoy them! Grab your favorite bourbon and some berries, and make this amazing Blackberry Bourbon Smash Cocktail...you'll thank me later!
A lot of bourbon lovers believe that the best way to enjoy their bourbon is neat, but why not have a little fun with it, and kick it up a notch? There are so many fun ways to enjoy your bourbon, and a bourbon smash is one of them. What is a bourbon smash you ask? It simply means that before adding the bourbon, you "smash" together some sweetener (we used homemade simple syrup found here), herbs or fruit, then add bourbon. Pretty easy, right? The possibilities for bourbon smashes are endless, and I'll be testing all kinds of combinations and sharing the best ones here on Pour Me a Cocktail all summer long. It's hard work, I know, but somebody has to do it ;)

If you are looking for a super refreshing cocktail to enjoy, you have to try the Raspberry Gin Fizz! It's so light and tasty...perfect for hot summer days!
This is a Southern Favorite with a twist! The Bourbon Arnold Palmer is the perfect mix of sweet tea, lemonade and you guessed it...bourbon! It's so easy to make, and soooo delish!
The Classic Moscow Mule has been one of my favorite drinks for a couple of years now. It's so easy to make, and best enjoyed in a fun copper mug. No copper mug, no problem...I'm pretty sure it tastes just the same in a glass...delicious!
