Thirsty Thursday

Thirsty Thursday meets Kentucky charm in this Blackberry Kentucky Mule that’s bursting with berry goodness.

It’s a sophisticated twist on the classic mule that brings together the best of fruit-forward cocktails and Southern spirit.

If you love cocktails that showcase fresh fruit, try our Strawberry Lemonade Whiskey Sour for another berry-bourbon combination, or the Ginger Grapefruit Paloma for that same spicy-citrus kick. Both deliver complex flavors that’ll keep you coming back for more.
