What is the bartender tip for a Blackberry Garden Tonic?
Build it in the glass: the syrup sinks — mix gin, blackberry, and lemon before the tonic. 20 ml syrup with only 10 ml lemon keeps the glass fruity; if your syrup is very sweet, drop it by 5 ml. Ice-cold tonic and ice to the brim. A London Dry holds the citrus; a very floral gin disappears behind the blackberry. It is not the classic Gin & Tonic (no syrup), the Blackberry Gin Fizz (soda, shaken, jam on top), or the Bramble (jam in a rocks glass, no fizz).
