To bridge the gap between the muggy heat of summer and the crisp, cool breezes of autumn, here is the recipe of a Sparkling Blackberry Smash. Its a combination of the sweetness of sparkling wine and simple syrup and the earthiness of bourbon and basil. The result is both strong and stunningly easy to gulp down. It looks tempting in a glass, but is best served in a pitcher. A drink from New Orleans which has a history of inventing bitters. #lifestyle #drink #cocktail #howto
