1776 Sparkler

by Aaron Daniels, Severin Bar

2 ounces Jack Daniels whiskey

1/2 ounce peach schnapps

3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice

1 ounce simple syrup*

4 strawberries

1 dozen blueberries

Sprite

Muddle two strawberries and six blueberries in the bottom of a Ball jar. Shake together whiskey, schnapps, lemon juice and simple syrup. Strain into jar. Fill to the top with Sprite. Garnish with remaining berries.

Tip: Make it non-alcoholic or kid-friendly by muddling berries in Monin peach syrup and topping with ginger ale.

*Equal parts sugar and water, shake until dissolved.
