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!

JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, especially now that all the Christmas decor is gone. Bear in mind, this is what it looks like before a child has actually had a chance to play in it 😂

I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerles I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerless these days, but @laybabylay made a great point in her stories the other day: you can always do something nice. You can buy the order of the person in line behind you at the drivethru. You can donate to charitable organizations doing things you believe in. You can make a meal for your neighbour who might be having a hard time with lockdown. It’s amazing how much better I feel when I do something nice, and I bet you will too ❤️

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans” - John Lennon. 😎 As a family who moves a lot, we’re ready for a new chapter/ new house, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to leave all the memories! We brought June home here 😭 she learned to walk here, and said her first words here. I wonder what other “firsts” she’ll have before we move. [pictured, June in a messy kitchen last year]

*insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from *insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from @mymitzi make this wet bar. Sure, secret thing else contributes to the #retroaesthetic , but lighting sets the mood. These brass sconces blend right in when they need to, but gleefully take center stage after dark. What do ya think?
