Ingredients
Honey-Ginger Simple Syrup:
1/2 cup honey
One 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped

1/4 cup fresh blackberries, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 fresh mint leaves, plus sprigs for garnish
2 ounces (1/4 cup) Tennessee whiskey
Ice cubes
2 ounces (1/4 cup) club soda
Directions
- 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.

- Strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice and top with club soda. Garnish with additional blackberries and mint sprigs.
