Gillian Owens Cocktail: A Practical Magic Blackberry Bourbon Cocktail
Dark, fruity, and just a little mysterious, this blackberry bourbon cocktail captures the bold spirit of Gillian Owens with fresh blackberries, smoky maple syrup, fragrant sage, and floral lavender.
Add the blackberries, maple syrup, and fresh sage leaves to a mixing glass. Gently muddle until the berries release their juices and the sage becomes fragrant.
