Blackberry Bourbon Sour That's Actually Smooth #bartending #whiskey #recipe

Celebrate the arrival of spring with The Vernal Equinox, a spirit-forward, "no-egg-white" sour variant that perfectly balances tart citrus with rich dark fruit. 🥃✨ In this episode, we’re building a complex, crisp cocktail using Old Grand-Dad 7 Year Bottled-in-Bond for that bold rye backbone and oak finish. We modify the profile with Starlight Distillery Blackberry Whiskey, adding deep berry notes without making it overly sweet. The secret to this build? Fee Brothers Plum Bitters for a floral, vibrant finish and a touch of foam for a silky, frothy texture. It’s balanced, refreshing, and tastes exactly like springtime in a glass. 🌸 The Build: * 1.5 oz Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon (Old Grand-Dad 7 Year) * 0.75 oz Starlight Blackberry Whiskey * 0.5 oz Fresh Lemon Juice * 3 Dashes Fee Brothers Plum Bitters * Optional: Fee Brothers Fee Foam (for texture) Shake it up, strain over a large rock, and express a lemon peel for that bright citrus nose. 🍋 Cheers to a fantastic Thirsty Thursday! ### **Connect With Us & Support The Journey!** 🥃 **Become a Patron & Get Exclusive Content:** https://www.patreon.com/cw/YourBourbonJourney 🌐 **Visit Our Website:** https://yourbourbonjourney.com/ 🔔 **SUBSCRIBE HERE:** https://www.youtube.com/@YourBourbonJourney?sub_confirmation=1 📸 **Instagram:** https://www.instagram.com/yourbourbonjourney/ 👍 **Facebook:** https://www.facebook.com/YourBourbonJourney 🚨REMEMBER TO ALWAYS DRINK RESPONSIBLY🚨 ❓Questions❓ YourBourbonJourney@gmail.com NOTE: The spirits in this review was purchased by us.
