Description
This summery bourbon berry smash cocktail is packed with fruity flavor thanks to the addition of berry jam! Lemon juice helps to balance the flavors and sparkling water gives it some satisfying fizz.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 jigger (1.5 oz) bourbon whiskey
- 2 tbsp berry jam of your choice (I used a homemade strawberry blueberry combo)
- 2–3 tsp fresh lemon juice
- sparkling water to top it off
- ice
Instructions
Add the whiskey, jam, and lemon juice to a highball glass. Mix well with a muddler or a spoon to incorporate the jam. Top off with sparkling water and a handful of ice.
Makes 1 cocktail.
Notes
- Typically a smash involves muddling fresh fruit and simple syrup in a glass but I decided to skip straight to jam because I made a batch of blueberry and strawberry jam just before shooting this recipe and it was pretty darn delicious. Feel free to use whatever berry jam you love!
- Want a mocktail version? Skip the bourbon and up the jam to 3 tablespoons and the lemon juice to 1-2 tablespoons. Add a dash or two of bitters if you like then top off with the sparkling water!
