🫐 Camp Batch — 8 Cocktails

  • 16 oz bourbon
  • 4 oz blackberry liqueur
  • 4 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 4 oz honey syrup
  • Fresh blackberries
  • Ginger ale, for topping

Gently muddle the blackberries with the honey syrup in the bottom of a pitcher. Add the bourbon, blackberry liqueur, and lemon juice and stir well.

Keep the mixture chilled until you’re ready to serve. Pour over ice and top each individual glass with ginger ale so it stays fizzy.

Camp Chaos Tip

Don’t pulverize the blackberries—you just want to muddle them enough to release the juice and flavor.

For easy honey syrup, mix equal parts honey and warm water until smooth. Make it at home, toss it in the cooler, and you’re campground-cocktail ready.

The bourbon gives this one a warm, slightly smoky backbone while the blackberries and honey bring the sweetness and the lemon keeps everything bright.

Camp Chaos verdict:
Berry sweet with just enough bourbon to attract the bears. 🐻🫐😂
