Pour in the Marker's Mark Whisky, blackberry puree, lemonade, and add the basil. Cover and shake vigorously for 30 seconds until the shaker to very cold.
Remove the cover from the shaker and strain the cocktail into 2 rocks glasses filled with ice. If needed, pour a little more lemonade on top to fill each glass.

How to Make Blackberry Puree:
Add the blackberries and sugar to a food processor. Puree until smooth.
