Ingredients

2 servings

For the berry syrup

1 cup mixed fresh berries (such as blackberries, raspberries, or blueberries)
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup water

For the cocktail

4 oz bourbon
1 oz berry syrup (from above)
4 dashes angostura bitters
2 large ice cubes or ice spheres

For serving

2 strips orange peel, for garnish (optional)
2 fresh berries, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the berries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then gently press the berries with the back of a spoon to release their juice. Cook until the mixture is slightly thickened and the berries have broken down, about 5–7 minutes.
2
Pour the berry mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a small bowl or jar, pressing the solids firmly to extract as much syrup as possible. Discard the solids. Let the syrup cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
