My momma loves a cocktail, so I had to make a special drink for her when she came to visit. This one has a honey- and ginger-infused simple syrup that pairs perfectly with blackberries and mint.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup honey
- One 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh blackberries, plus more for garnish
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 fresh mint leaves, plus sprigs for garnish
- 2 ounces (1/4 cup) Tennessee whiskey
- Ice cubes
- 2 ounces (1/4 cup) club soda
Instructions
- Make the simple syrup: Combine the honey, ginger and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and let simmer until the honey dissolves, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand 30 minutes to cool. Strain, and set aside.
- For the drink: Muddle the blackberries, lime juice and mint leaves in a cocktail shaker. Add the whiskey and 2 ounces (1/4 cup) simple syrup to the cocktail shaker (save the remaining simple syrup for another use). Add ice and shake to combine.
- Strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice and top with club soda. Garnish with additional blackberries and mint sprigs.
