- Whiskey. Jack Daniels is good. The sour goes well with the charcoal and it's not too sweet.
- Fresh blackberries. You'll want to use fresh not frozen so you get a good amount of juice and which will add flavor and color to your co*cktail.
- Fresh rosemary. This serves multiple purposes. It's a pretty garnish, adds a lovely flavor and aroma, and you'll be lighting it to further enhance the aroma and really heightened the experience of enjoying this crafted co*cktail!
- Simple syrup. You can make your own by dissolving 1 part sugar with one part water or you can purchase simple syrup ready to go to save time.

This recipe taste great but it is impossible those are pictures of blackberries. Blackberries turn out a very dark purple.Reply

Hi Douglas, I’m glad you liked the drink! I think it’s the lighting that makes the blackberries look an unusual color. It was a very sunny day when I took these photos. I did use blackberries.
