Blackberry Bourbon and Honey Punch

A child’s 2nd birthday party may seem like odd inspiration for a cocktail however, for this bourbon punch that is indeed the case! My godson was turning two and my cousin asked if I’d create a special adult beverage for the 21+ guests drinking responsibly at the party. The theme was Winnie the Pooh and immediately my brain thought: honey! From there I added bourbon, seasonal blackberries, lemonade (it is summer after all!) and so the specialty drink for the party was created.
