Blackberry Bourbon Fizz - cooking recipe

Ingredients

5 blackberries
5 ice cubes
1 fluid ounce Bourbon
3/4 cup cold ginger ale (none of that high fructose corn syrup or aspartame)
1/4 cup cold club soda (optional)

Preparation

Place blackberries in the bottom of a tall glass and mash them around with a spoon. Keep some big chunks because it looks cool.
Add the ice and then the bourbon, ginger ale, and club soda.
I like adding club soda because it keeps it tasting refreshing and can save some cash. You can just add more ginger ale if you choose to forgo the club soda.
Garnish with fresh basil if you like.
