Ingredients
4-6 fresh blackberries, plus more for garnish
2 oz bourbon whiskey
1 oz lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 oz blackberry simple syrup*

* To make the blackberry simple syrup: combine 1/3 cup water, 1/3 cup sugar, and 8-10 blackberries in a small saucepan over low-medium heat until sugar is dissolved and blackberries are broken down. Then run everything through a fine mesh strainer and let it cool. Store in the refrigerator until needed.
Directions
In a cocktail shaker, muddle the blackberries and add bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup then fill with ice.
Use a cocktail smoker to infuse the ingredients with notes of smokiness.
