Ingredients
- 2 oz gin
- 1 oz lemon juice
- 0.5 oz simple syrup
- 0.5 oz creme de cassis

Instructions
- In a shaker add ice, gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and shake very well.
- In a rocks glass add plenty of ice, and strain the gin mix into the glass.
- Pour creme de cassis over the back of a spoon into the glass, so it settles at the bottom.
- Do not stir before serving, and garnish with lemon and blackberries.
Notes
This is not stirred when offered, but we do recommend stirring it at least a little so the bottom isn't as strong when you get to it.
Chambord is a good option if you can't find creme de cassis.
Tips & Tricks
Muddle fresh blackberries or raspberries in the shaker for a more intense berry flavor.
Add a sprig of fresh mint or basil to the shaker for an added layer of herbal complexity.
