Several weeks ago I was contacted by a PR firm asking if Bourbon & Banter would be interested in having one of the mixologists that represented create a cocktail for Bourbon & Banter in celebration of Bourbon Heritage Month. Never one to turn down a free drink I jumped at the chance but requested that cocktails meet two very specific criteria:

1. It must use one of my favorite bourbons – Antique Weller\*
2. It has to be easy enough to make at home without the need for expensive or hard to acquire ingredients

Fast forward a few weeks and I’m pleased to share with everyone the Bourbon Jam crafted by Steven Robbins, the Bar Manager at [Contigo](https://www.contigotexas.com/austin?ref=bourbonbanter.com) in Austin, TX.

I’ve seen variations on this theme before but what I really like about Steven’s version is the simplicity of the ingredients and how they match the flavor profile and proof of the Antique Weller. I served this to several guests over the weekend and it was a huge hit. Everyone really enjoyed the tangy flavor that reminded them of a punch but without the overbearing sweetness that you often find in fruit punches.

As you know I’m not really into sweet cocktails but this one was pretty tasty. I think it’s the tangy profile that makes it interesting. And since it contains blackberry jam it makes the perfect early morning drink as well. Give it a shot and let me know what you think in the comments.

**Bourbon Jam**

Ingredients 
- 2 oz. Bourbon (Weller)
- Barspoon of Blackberry jam
- .75 oz Lemon Juice
- Barspoon honey
Method 
- Shake strain over ice and top with a little soda. (I used 7-Up when I tested the recipe out but Club Soda works just as well if you want it less sweet.)

This one can even be made in batches ahead of a party. Just hold off on topping off with soda until you serve it over ice. Enjoy!

\*Before anyone gets on my case for putting good bourbon in a cocktail please remember that cocktails are only as good as the booze in them. Antique Weller is a perfect bourbon to use. Great flavor without breaking the bank. There’s no crime in that my friends.
