The Grand Ball Cocktail will Light up The Night this 4th of July

Get ready to raise your glass and celebrate Independence Day with a cooling 4th of July cocktail. As fireworks light up the night sky and patriotic spirit fills the air, this cocktail brings together your favorite bourbon and the season’s freshest ingredients. 

We think this cocktail pairs perfectly with Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon, a gold-winning spirit we featured earlier this year. Read more here.

Ingredients: 

2 oz Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon (or bourbon of choice)

¾ oz raspberry syrup*

¾ oz lemon juice

1 egg white 

Fresh raspberries and black berries for garnish 

Directions: Muddle blackberries in a mixing tin and add remaining ingredients. Dry shake for fifteen seconds and add ice. Shake for another fifteen seconds or until the cocktail is well chilled. Double strain over ice into a rocks glass. Garnish

*Raspberry Syrup: Combine equal parts raspberries, granulated sugar, and hot water. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Cool to room temperature. Strain.
