Blackberry Buck

Ingredients

• 2 oz bourbon
• ¾ oz lemon juice
• ¼ oz (1½ tsp) ginger syrup
• ¼ oz (1½ tsp) balsamic vinegar
• 2 blackberries
• Ginger beer, to top
• 2 cracks black pepper

Steps

1. Add the blackberries to a cocktail shaker and muddle them.
2. Add the bourbon, lemon juice, ginger syrup, and balsamic vinegar with ice. Shake for 8–10 seconds.
3. Strain into a tall glass over fresh ice and top with ginger beer.

Notes

• A high-rye bourbon such as Bulleit or 1792 works especially well.
• The black pepper can be skipped.
