Summer Smash

Adapted and reinvented... another chapter of the cocktail thief, I bring you the end of summer smash!

1/2 oz. Lemon juice
1/4 oz. Agave
3 Basil Leaves
2 oz. Whiskey
2 dashes Angustora Bitters
3 Blackberries

Save yourself  $12 and do it at home! Combine lemon, agave, basil, whiskey and bitters in a cocktail shaker.  Shake with ice and strain into a glass filled with ice.  Top with muddled blackberries. (if you aren't strict vegan, a classic approach would be to use honey instead. You can also experiment with different herbs such as mint, sage and tarragon) Garnish with a sprig of basil if you want to be extra fancy.
