Blackberry Bourbon Smash

• .5oz fresh lime juice
• .75oz simple syrup
• 4 fresh blackberries
• 4 mint leaves 
• 2oz bourbon
• Soda water

Built in the glass: Add lime juice, simple syrup, blackberries, and mint to a rocks glass. Muddle together then add bourbon (I used Russell’s Reserve 10 year Kentucky Straight Bourbon because, well, I love it and why not?). Fill glass with ice, top with soda water and stir gently. Garnish with fresh mint.
