What is the bartender tip for a Rye Revival?
The syrup goes in scant: a hair under 15 ml, because the crème de mûre already sweetens. Lime, not lemon in the juice — the green cuts the rye. The wheel on top is lemon, as in the video. Crème de mûre is blackberry liqueur; crème de cassis is blackcurrant and changes the drink (that's what Morgenthaler's Bourbon Renewal uses, with bourbon and lemon). Dry, spicy rye holds up to the berry; bourbon leaves the drink rounder. Double strain over fresh ice: the shake has already diluted it. The catalog's Whiskey Sour is bourbon and lemon, no blackberry; the Bramble is gin with jam; the Bourbon Blackberry builds syrup and jam in the glass, no liqueur.
