We’re huge blackberry fans in the summer and I can’t wait to make my favorite summer cocktail as the weather warms up. Now that I’m in nesting mode, nothing makes me more happy than showing my love to friends and family by hosting them in my home. Since moving to Indy two years ago we’ve been working hard on making our outdoor space a place of retreat, back yard BBQs and a kid’s play haven. Back yard BBQs that include tasty cuisine and drinks is what I’m working on this summer.
I’ve found an amazing summer Blackberry Lemonade Whiskey Cocktail recipe that both men and women enjoy. It’s just the right mix of freshness and summer combined. Pair that with a charcuterie board for snacks and it makes for a great summer night out in the back yard with friends.
Summer Blackberry Lemonade Whiskey Cocktail
I know with The Big Race just around the corner, Mint Juleps are on the mind, but this cocktail has got it beat. It’s the perfect way to celebrate summer with your friends. First off, if you’re not familiar with the red wax-topped whiskey Maker’s Mark®, it’s one of the smoothest whiskeys around. At 90 proof, Maker’s Mark® has a woody oak, caramel, and vanilla aroma with a wheat prevail in the nose. The finish is smooth and subtle with a sweet taste, balanced with caramel, vanilla and fruity essences.
These flavors combine perfectly with the fruitiness of the blackberries and lemon in this cocktail. I’m always surprised when I find a drink that everyone in a group enjoys. I pair it with a charcuterie board full of various meats, cheeses, crackers, dips and fruits, making sure my guests have something to snack and sip while we chat the night away.
In our home, we’ve gone straw-free and have switched to stainless steel straws. Maker’s Mark® has a similar outlook on helping to save the Earth. Be sure to check out their movement on water sustainability while enjoying your beverages this summer. You can find Maker’s Mark® at most stores where liquor is sold.
