Blackberry Rye Fizz

The Blackberry Rye Fizz is a delightful cocktail that marries the rich, spicy notes of rye whiskey with the tart sweetness of fresh blackberries. Served over ice and topped with sparkling water, this refreshing libation is perfect for summer evenings or any gathering where you want to impress your friends. Historically, rye whiskey has roots in North America, particularly in the northeastern states, where it was a popular choice among early settlers. This cocktail not only pays homage to that tradition but also embraces the vibrant flavors of seasonal fruits, making it a timeless choice for modern mixologists.
