What is the bartender tip for a Bourbon Blackberry?
The jam stays on top: stir it into the glass and the drink turns cloudy and cloying. Queenberry (or another firm jam without too many chunks) holds the look. 25 ml of syrup with 15 ml of lemon leaves the drink sweet and fruity; if the syrup is very sweet, drop 5 ml. Lime in place of lemon pulls greener — if you use it, cut about 5 ml of syrup. Real bourbon holds up to the blackberry; a light whiskey disappears. The catalog already has the Blackberry Smash (fresh berries and mint), the Bramble (gin and shaken jam), and the Blackberry Gin Fizz (gin, syrup, soda, and jam on top): this is the short bourbon, built in the glass.
