This easy two ingredient mixed drink is just Sprite lemon-lime soda mixed with the seasonal Crown Royal blackberry whiskey. It’s a refreshing, bubbly cocktail that’s perfect for Spring and Summer!

Ice cubes
Instructions
Fill a tall glass (such as a highball) with ice (large cubes or crushed works best)
Ice cubes
Add 2 ounces Crown blackberry whiskey to the glass
2 Ounces Crown Royal blackberry whiskey
Top off with Sprite (exact amount needed will vary based on size of ice cubes and size of glasses)
12 Ounces Sprite
Stir and enjoy!
Notes
If you cannot find blackberry Crown, you can use ½ ounce blackberry flavored syrup with 2 ounces regular whiskey (and slightly reduce the amount of soda)
You can also substitute another blackberry liquor, such as blackberry moonshine, brandy, vodka, or another brand of blackberry whiskey or bourbon
Alternative soda mixer options: ginger ale, blackberry ginger ale, cream soda, other lemon-lime sodas, lemonade soda (such as Limonata), berry lemonade soda, orange soda, peach soda (like Crush), grapefruit soda, Coca Cola, Limoncello sparkling water (such as La Croix)
Garnishes are not really needed for a Crown blackberry and Sprite, but if desired, you can use a slice of lemon, a fresh blackberry, or a sprig of mint. Fun colored straws are always a good choice, too!
Due to the carbonation of the soda, this drinkis best enjoyed fresh. However, since it takes just minutes to assemble, you won’t regret not being able to prepare it in advance!
For a weaker drink, you can use 1 or 1.5 ounces of whiskey instead. It’s very easy to adjust to taste and personal preference! As written, this is not overly strong - you can taste the blackberry flavor but its not obviously whiskey
Any tall, clear glass is a good choice for serving this drink. I like can glasses (because they remind me of soda) but any highball, pint glass, or similar is also fine!
Exact nutritional values will vary based on brand of ingredients, size of glasses and ice, and quantity consumed, so please consider this a guideline only
