Blackberry Bourbon Infusion

• 1 pint Blackberries
• 2 cups Bourbon

1. Take a clean Mason jar (see note) and place the blackberries inside. Use a muddling stick or wooden spoon to break up the berries a little. This will help them start to macerate and release their juice into your bourbon.
2. Add the bourbon into the jar. Place the lid on tightly, and put the jar in a cool, dark place like a cupboard. Every day, take the jar out and turn it upside down and shake it a little to be sure it distributes properly. Be patient, and find other delicious things to drink in the meantime.
3. After about 7 days, the infusion is done. That's it!
4. Notes:
5. 1. I have found that the larger-sized Mason jars (32-ounce) are best for making these concoctions. They seal well, they have a built-in measurement guide on the jar, and because they are clear, you can see what is going on in there.
6. 2. As a bourbon aficionado, I drank the Blackberry Bourbon both on the rocks and later, mixed with a little sweet tea, but I can't wait for summer to come so I can add this to lemonade for a fruity and potent cocktail.
