Ingredients:

• 1 oz Devils River Bourbon Whiskey
• 1 oz lemon juice
• 3/4 oz blackberry simple syrup*
• Fever-tree tonic water

Directions:

1. Add the Devils River Bourbon Whiskey, lemon juice and blackberry simple syrup into a shaker.
2. Shake!
3. Add ice, blackberries and a lemon slice into a mason jar
4. Strain into mason jar top with tonic water

*Blackberry Simple Syrup Instructions (optional):

1. Put the blackberries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat.
2. Cook for 15-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until blackberries have softened and you have a thick syrup.
3. Strain syrup through a mesh sieve to separate any seeds or lumps from the syrup. You can discard the leftover pulp, although I like to freeze it in ice cube trays and pop a cube or two in smoothies.
4. Let syrup cool on the counter for 20 minutes or so before you make the drinks.
