The Blackberry Smash is a fruit-forward bourbon cocktail that balances the whiskey's oak and caramel notes against bright bursts of berry and citrus. Muddled blackberries and lemon provide a tart, jammy foundation, while fresh mint lifts the drink with an herbal freshness that keeps it from becoming too sweet. The result is rustic and refreshing, a warm-weather sipper with enough backbone to satisfy whiskey drinkers.
