Blackberry and Goat Cheese Flatbread
A sweet-savory flatbread that proves blackberries have a place in savory cooking: caramelized onions, creamy goat cheese, and fresh blackberries on a crispy crust, finished with honey and thyme. The combination is genuinely stunning — the tart berries, sweet onions, tangy goat cheese, and herby thyme create something that tastes far more sophisticated than the effort warrants.

Muddled blackberries and mint shaken with bourbon, lemon juice, and simple syrup into one of the best summer cocktails in the American repertoire. The blackberries make the drink a deep purple color and add a fruity tartness that balances the oak-and-vanilla of the bourbon perfectly. Make a pitcher for any backyard gathering.
