Description
A “smash” cocktail is defined as muddling or extracting all of the flavors and oils from a whole fruit (skins, cores, and all). Jeff’s version takes out sweetness of a traditional smash cocktail, and makes a sour and warming version of a classic smash.
For more of Jeff’s blackberry-inspired drinks, watch his Big & Bold Blackberries episode, or view his The Amelia recipe.
