Boozy Blackberry Cocktail Drink
Boozy Blackberry Cocktail Drink
"This recipe was inspired by Abby Fisher’s cookbook, What Mrs. Fisher Knows about Old Southern Cooking. This was the second known cookbook written by a Black person in the United States. She had an award-winning blackberry bourbon recipe, which sounds delicious. But, this is a wine blog. So, I took that idea turned it around a bit. Bourbon barrel aged wine is becoming more popular. These are rich wines that you can drink by themselves. They are easy drinkers. But, they are also great in a cocktail like this one. "
