It's finally springtime, the perfect time of year that calls for fewer layers and chilled drinks! Spring cocktails are meant to celebrate the turning of the season, mimicking the color that's finally budding throughout the South.

Our featured Springtime Sip is the Blackberry Smash, a spring drink that's unabashedly cheery and bright, made with fresh produce and artisanal ingredients, which you can pick up at Lucy's Market. Serve it up in our punchy pitchers and glasses.

 

This refreshing drink is perfect for your next outdoor get-together or for simply sipping on your porch, soaking up the springtime sun. Cheers!

INGREDIENTS

3/4 c. fresh lemon juice (from about 5 lemons), plus 1 lemon, sliced 3/4 c. Stone Hollow Farmstead blackberry jam 2 c. gin or vodka 1 (12-ounce) can club soda 1 c. fresh berries

DIRECTIONS

1. Whisk together lemon juice and blackberry jam in a pitcher until dissolved.

Make it zero-proof by subbing 1/2 c. simple syrup for the liquor. For extra effervescence, top off with champagne!
