Blackberry Mint Juleps

"A Bobby Flay recipe in the March 2009 edition of EveryDay with Rachael Ray. Cooking time is resting time for the blackberry/sugar mixture. Beware. . .I felt these were VERY strong, so you may want to cut back on the amount of bourbon if you are wimpy like me!!!"

  1. We enjoyed this drink as we watched the Kentucky Derby, but we will definitely be making these more than once a year now! This was delicious. As JanuaryBride states, it is STRONG. I ended up adding another tablespoon of the blackberry mixture and a little more sugar to mine and I thought it was perfect. The blackberry mixture is so tasty!!!! Thanks for a wonderful new drink recipe. :) ~Made for the May Aussie/NZ Swap~
