Louisville Slugger

Name: Louisville Slugger
Prep time: 5 min
Yield: 1 serving
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 1 oz Bourbon; 2 tsp Blackberry Brandy; 1 oz Dry Vermouth; 2 tsp Lemon Juice

Bright, slightly sweet and fruity on first sip from the blackberry brandy, with a citrus snap from the lemon and a warm, oaky bourbon backbone balanced by dry vermouth's subtle dryness. It pours a pale rose-amber and is served chilled and clear in a cocktail glass with a lemon twist for aromatic lift. Worth trying if you like spirit-forward martini-style cocktails with a fruity, easy-drinking twist.
