Ingredients

Fruit and Garnish

  • 12 fresh blackberries (or raspberries)
  • Lemon peel strips (from one lemon, for twists)
  • Fresh berries for garnish

Liquids

  • 1 ounce simple syrup (use 2 ounces for a sweeter drink)
  • 1 ounce fresh lemon juice (from one lemon)
  • 3 ounces cognac
  • 1 ounce raspberry liqueur (like Chambord)

Others

  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Muddle the Berries and Mix Flavors: Add the fresh blackberries, simple syrup, and fresh lemon juice to a cocktail shaker. Use a muddler to gently crush the berries, releasing their flavorful juices and blending them with the syrup and lemon to create a fruity base.
  2. Add Spirits and Ice, Then Shake: Pour in the cognac, raspberry liqueur, and add 3 ice cubes to the shaker. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 45-60 seconds. This chilling and mixing ensures a well-balanced, cool cocktail.
  3. Strain and Garnish: Strain the mixture evenly into two chilled glasses. Add extra ice cubes on top for chill. Garnish each drink with a fresh lemon twist and a fresh berry to enhance both aroma and presentation. Serve immediately to enjoy at its freshest.

Notes

  • For a sweeter cocktail, increase the simple syrup to 2 ounces.
  • Use fresh blackberries or raspberries depending on availability and personal preference.
  • Chilling the glasses before serving keeps the cocktail cold longer.
  • Adjust the amount of lemon juice according to your taste for acidity.
  • This recipe makes 2 servings.
