My momma loves a cocktail, so I had to make a special drink for her when she came to visit. This one has a honey- and ginger-infused simple syrup that pairs perfectly with blackberries and mint.
Make the simple syrup: Combine the honey, ginger and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and let simmer until the honey dissolves, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand 30 minutes to cool. Strain, and set aside.
For the drink: Muddle the blackberries, lime juice and mint leaves in a cocktail shaker. Add the whiskey and 2 ounces (1/4 cup) simple syrup to the cocktail shaker (save the remaining simple syrup for another use). Add ice and shake to combine.
Strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice and top with club soda. Garnish with additional blackberries and mint sprigs.
