MyMilitarySavingsAlright, everyone. Spring and summer are on their way, and we are getting excited for sunny days! For this recipe, I decided to put my own spin on Lemonade. The recipe for this Blackberry Whiskey Limeade is super simple and INCREDIBLY delicious. This drink made me giddy with all the summertime feels. I highly recommend you try it this weekend.
The first step in the recipe is making a Blackberry simple syrup. Don’t worry, it sounds much fancier than it is. A simple syrup is just an equal ratio sugar/water solution that’s simmered on the stove. A lot of drinks call for a simple syrup because the sugar is already dissolved and the syrup blends easily to any cold drink you’re preparing.
