The Lyre’s Blackberry Smash is one seriously good summer cocktail. This drink is a delightful riff on a classic Julep, brimming with the vibrant flavors of fresh blackberries, fragrant mint, and the rich essence of American Malt. It’s the perfect way for whiskey lovers to unwind and embrace the carefree spirit of summer after a long, sun-soaked day. With a nod to tradition and a touch of modern flair, this cocktail embodies the essence of relaxation and celebration. Bottoms up!
In your trusty Old Fashioned glass, the Lyre’s Blackberry Smash brings together 2 parts (60mL/2 Fl Oz) of Lyre’s American Malt, 1/2 part (15mL/1/2 Fl Oz) of white sugar syrup (1:1), and 1/2 part (15mL/1/2 Fl Oz) of lime juice. But what truly elevates this libation are the stars of the show: 4 succulent blackberries and 8 fragrant mint leaves. Garnished with a plump sprig of mint and a blackberry skewer, it’s a visual and aromatic delight. To craft this masterpiece, muddle the blackberries and mint with the sugar syrup in a shaker, add all ingredients, shake with ice, and strain into your glass over fresh ice. This is a celebration of summer in a glass, a symphony of flavors that will have you sipping, savoring, and toasting to the joys of warm days and cool sips. Libations indeed!
