Blackberry Whiskey Sour

March 15, 2018~ Cocktails

St. Patricks day used to mean green beer and cheap nachos at a campus bar. Now it means fancy whiskey cocktails that don’t remind me of the times I blacked-out on cheap booze. Irish Whiskey is a staple for most on March 17th, but instead of doing it on the rocks or just doing shots *I shudder at the thought of shots* I’m mixing it up with a Blackberry Whiskey Sour recipe I found on Kleinworth Co., and doing my own version in these adorable shamrock champagne coups I found at Value Village last month.

Ingredients for a Blackberry Whiskey Sour

  • Fresh blackberries
  • 1oz Irish Whiskey – I used Jameson
  • 2 oz Simple syrup
  • 1 tsp Lemon juice
  • Ice
  • Shaker, strainer, jigger

Like with all cocktails and recipes, adjust accordingly. I found the 2oz of simply syrup to be a bit much, so I could have watered it down with soda water.

Step 1: Load the shaker, in this case a large tumbler, with ice and blackberries. Crushed ice is better for helping break-up the berries, but cubes will do.

Step 3: Mix 2oz simple syrup and 1 tsp lemon juice together to make the “sour” part of the blackberry whiskey sour.

Step 4: Add the sour mix to the shaker, and shake! If you don’t have a lid, or are using a tumbler like me, a little whisk will help shake it all up. I had to pop a nice in there for a minute to help break-up the blackberries, but it was all doable.

Step 5: Add ice cubes to your glasses, and serve through strainer. If you don’t want any bits of blackberry at all, strain the drink through a mesh strainer again.

Step 6: Garnish with more blackberries (this is a blackberry whiskey sour after all), and maybe a shamrock for good luck. Enjoy!

Packed-up the bulk of my closet this weekend. It’s funny, with less in there I can see the beautiful wallpaper and lighting more easily. You guys, I am seriously considering a more minimal lifestyle after sorting through WAY TOO MUCH stuff in our storage room. Anyone else a maximalist turned minimalist after a move?

This living room has been so many things to us sin This living room has been so many things to us since we moved in (including the distinction of being the first space we made over, and over). It’s also been a space that evolved with us as our needs changed. And now, while we plan what the next one will look like, I wonder if it’ll have a marble fireplace... probably not.

Her design is clean, bold, and evolves with each house they make a home. If you know exactly who you are and what you’re about, she is one very worthwhile follow. Her meme game is pretty strong too.

JB in her happy place✨ AD: JB LOVES her @wiwiurk JB in her happy place✨ AD: JB LOVES her @wiwiurka_toys triangle (in sunset) and ramp. From the moment we assembled it, she was all over it. We use it to make blanket forts, set obstacle courses, entertain Tina 🐓 , and just hang out on it. It’s kinda the perfect toddler toy.
