The Blackberry Functional Smash draws from two verified sources: Kin Euphorics published their Kin Refreshmint recipe using High Rhode euphoric spirit muddled with blackberries, lemon, honey, and mint, and All The Bitter published a closely related Blackberry Smash in December 2025 using kava spirit with the same fruit and citrus structure. Both drinks share the same classic smash format — muddled fresh fruit, citrus, and a sweetener — applied to functional non-alcoholic spirits. The format makes functional spirits accessible to drinkers who enjoy bright, fruit-forward cocktails.
