Method
Cocktail Base
- 1
Muddle
In a shaker, place the fresh blackberries and 1 thyme sprig. Use a muddler to gently crush the berries and bruisethe thyme to release oils — about 8–10 firm presses. Aim to break the berries but not pulverize them into juice pulp.

Build
Add the gin, St. Germain, fresh lime juice, simple syrup and cracked black pepper to the shaker with the muddled berries and thyme. Fill the shaker about two-thirds with ice.
- 3
Shake
Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and well-chilled. This chills the cocktail, integrates the flavors and extracts additional bright berry aromatics.
Finish & Fizz
- 4
Strain
Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or rocks glass filled with fresh ice using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine-mesh strainer to remove seeds and large pulp.
- 5
Top and stir
Top the cocktail with 2 oz club soda. Gently stir once or twice to integrate the fizz without flattening it.
Garnish & Serve
- 6
Garnish with the remaining thyme sprig (slap it between your palms once to release oils), a light dusting of cracked black pepper over the top, and an edible flower or a few microgreens for visual contrast. Serve immediately.
