Method
Cocktail
- 1
Muddle
Place the fresh blackberries and simple syrup into a cocktail shaker or mixing glass. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and crush the berries until they release their juices — do not pulverize into a complete pulp; you want some texture and seeds removed by straining later.
- 2
Add spirits and acid
Add the vodka, black raspberry liqueur, and fresh lemon juice to the shaker with the muddled berries.
- 3
Ice and shake
Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is very cold. This chills and slightly dilutes the drink for balance.
- 4
Double strain
Prepare a chilled coupe, martini, or rocks glass. Double-strain the cocktail through a fine mesh strainer into the glass to remove seeds and large berry bits. Use a Hawthorne or julep strainer plus the fine mesh if available.

Garnish
Thread the fresh blackberry onto a cocktail pick and rest it on the rim with a lemon wheel. Optionally slap a mint sprig between your hands to release aroma and tuck it behind the garnish.

Serve
Serve immediately while chilled. Stir lightly if desired to combine the soda with the cocktail layers. Enjoy as a refreshing, fruit-forward cocktail that highlights black raspberry flavor.
