PREP:   10 mins

Ingredients:

• 6 oz fresh raspberries
• 6 oz fresh blackberries
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp water (If necessary)
• 1 cup bourbon
• 1 cup lemon juice (Freshly squeezed if possible)
• Sprigs of thyme, for garnishing

Instructions:

1. Combine rasperries, blackberries, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat and cook down into a syrup.  If you feel that the syrup may begin to burn add up to 2 tbsp of water to thin the syrup.
2. Once the syrup has thickened pour it through a fine strainer and allow it to cool.
3. Once syrup has cooled combine it with the bourbon, and lemon juice and stir well to combine all the ingredients.
4. Allowing the Bourbon Lemonade to rest and integrate in the fridge for a few hours to overnight makes it taste much better.
5. Serve "Mixed Berry Bourbon Lemonade" over ice garnish with a couple sprigs of thyme.
