🍇 Backwoods Blackberry Smash
Bold, Bright, and a Little Bit Badass.
There’s something unforgettable about the sweet tang of wild blackberries picked fresh off a mountain trail. The Backwoods Blackberry Smash captures that exact feeling—summer-stained fingers, mint-scented breeze, and a pour of local moonshine to bring it all home.
This cocktail is a tribute to Appalachian roots: rugged, refreshing, and undeniably good. With muddled blackberries, lemon, and a splash of shine, it's perfect for backyard parties, barn weddings, or just sitting on a porch swing watching the fireflies roll in.
