Notes
Substitutions:
- skip the créme de mure - if you can’t find créme de mure and don’t have the time to make your own homemade blackberry liqueur, you can skip this liqueur and add an ounce of blackberry syrup instead.
- classic bramble - use gin for a classic bramble recipe instead of bourbon.
- regular simple syrup - if you don't have blackberry simple syrup at the ready, you can substitute classic simple syrup in it's place.
