FAQs:

Why use an Elixir Mixer for this cocktail?

The Elixir Mixer helps to perfectly incorporate the blackberry simple syrup with the rest of the liquid ingredients, creating a well-blended cocktail with no separation.

Can I use a different type of fruit? Absolutely!

Feel free to experiment with different fruits such as raspberries or strawberries for a different flavor profile.

Can I make this cocktail stronger?

Yes, you can adjust the amount of bourbon to your preference. However, remember that the goal is to strike a balance between the bourbon and the other flavors.

Can I use pre-made lemonade instead of freshly squeezed lemon juice?

Fresh lemon juice is recommended for its fresh and tangy flavor. However, if you're in a pinch, you can use high-quality store-bought lemonade.

What's the role of the orange liqueur?

The orange liqueur adds a subtle citrusy sweetness that complements the tartness of the lemon and the richness of the bourbon. If you don't have any on hand, you can omit it or substitute with a splash of orange juice.
