Blackberry on Rye
For this cocktail, muddled blackberries evoke the jamminess of the red wine, which pairs well with the spiciness of a bold rye whiskey.

Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Add blackberries and simple syrup to your mixing glass and softly muddle, just enough to break apart the blackberries. Add the remaining ingredients.
  2. Fill your mixing glass with ice and shake for 10 seconds, until frothy and icy cold. Double-strain through a fine mesh strainer over ice into an old-fashioned glass. Double-straining prevents the berry seeds/pulp from clouding the drink and getting stuck in your teeth.
  3. Garnish with a few blackberries and enjoy.
Recipe Notes

For the red wine in this recipe, use something full-bodied and fruit-forward. I used a Cabernet Sauvignon, but a Merlot or a Malbec might also make for a good choice.
