RECIPE

James Blackberry

An elegant riff on the classic sour: Buchanan’s Deluxe, fresh blackberries, Chambord, lemon, and the rich sweetness of honey.

Ingredients

1.5 oz Buchanan’s Deluxe

4-5 Blackberries, muddled

.75 Honey Syrup (2 parts honey, 1 part water)

.5 oz Chambord

.75 oz Lemon Juice

Garnish: Minto Bouquet + Lemon

Preparation

Lightly muddle 4-5 blackberries in a cocktail shaker. Add remaining ingredients and shake over ice.

Double strain so seeds of the blackberries don’t leak through. Pour over crushed ice in a rocks glass.

Garnish cocktail with mint bouquet and lemon zest.
